Se­nior Coun­sel Is­rael Khan is fac­ing back­lash over his ac­tions in call­ing on Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young to ini­ti­ate an in­de­pen­dent probe in­to the con­duct of Chief Jus­tice Ivor Archie in the short-lived ju­di­cial ap­point­ment of for­mer chief mag­is­trate Mar­cia Ay­ers-Cae­sar.

Hav­ing staged a so­lo protest call­ing for Archie to re­sign on the steps of the Hall of Jus­tice in Port-of-Spain af­ter Ay­ers-Cae­sar’s law­suit against Archie and the Ju­di­cial and Le­gal Ser­vices Com­mis­sion (JLSC) was re­cent­ly up­held by the Unit­ed King­dom-based Privy Coun­cil, Khan took it a step fur­ther with an­oth­er sym­bol­ic and con­tro­ver­sial move on Thurs­day.
