Secretariat for judiciary unrealistic, says Anisul

Law Minister Anisul Huq said on Sunday the demand for establishing a separate secretariat for the judiciary in the light of the Masdar Hossain case is unrealistic, reports UNB.

He came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after inaugurating a training course for the district and session's judges and equivalent judicial officials at the Judicial Administration Training Institute in the city.

The High Court in its verdict in the Masdar Hossain case directed for setting up a separate secretariat for the judiciary.

Following the HC judgment, different quarters had long been demanding that an independent secretariat be set up for the judiciary.

On January 04 last, the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) demanded amendment to the gazette notification published on the disciplinary rules for the lower court judges after forming an independent secretariat for the judiciary.
