A major reshuffle has taken place in the Supreme Court administration on Sunday, two days after Chief Justice Surendra Sinha left for Australia.

Registrar General Syed Aminul Islam, Private Secretary to the chief justice Anisur Rahman, Deputy Registrar Arunabh Chakraborty, High Court Division's Registrar Syed Dilzar Hossain are among the several top court officials who were transferred, reports bdnews24.com.

The law ministry said in circular on Sunday the officials have been transferred upon the 'Supreme Court's advise'.

A Supreme Court source said, Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah, who was appointed by the president to head the court in absence of the chief justice, has approved the reshuffle.

The order comes a day after the top court issued a rare statement with damning allegations against Justice Sinha.

The Supreme Court statement, signed by the registrar general, cited 11 charges, including graft, money laundering, financial misappropriation and moral lapse, against the chief justice.
