OUTSPOKEN head of the Criminal Bar Association Israel Khan, SC, has called on Chief Justice Ivor Archie to resign immediately or face impeachment over his handling of the controversy involving former chief magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar who was made to resign as a High Court judge.

Khan staged a one-man protest outside the Hall of Justice in Port of Spain on March 25, accusing Archie of bringing both the office of the Chief Justice and the office of the President into disrepute.

Khan said as head of the Criminal Bar Association, he demanded Archie’s resignation and urged Prime Minister Stuart Young to initiate a Section 137 investigation into Archie's conduct.
