The government says it finds Chief Justice Surendra Kumar dismissing reports of his illness as shocking.
 
"I am shocked," Law Minister Annisul Huq told the media on Sunday, a day after Supreme Court cited 11 charges, including graft and moral lapse against Sinha.
 
"If there are complaints against someone, then there are processes before filing a case. It will be investigated and the next step will be taken if they are found to be true. Nobody is above the law," he said.
