Satnarine Sharma (1942/1943 – October 9, 2019) was the Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago from 2002 until 2008.[1] He was succeeded by Ivor Archie.[2][3]
Controversy
In July 2006, Sharma was arrested and accused of trying to help Basdeo Panday, a former prime minister who was sentenced in April to two years in prison for corruption,[4][5][6][7] an action which some perceived as racist.[8] An international tribunal ruled that there was insufficient evidence to remove him from office in December 2007. He however resigned as scheduled in January 2008.[9][10]
