Asif Nazrul for continuation of reforms to ensure justice

SYLHET, Sept 17 (BSS): Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul on Wednesday stressed the need for continuation of the legal and institutional reforms taken by the government for ensuring justice. "One of the five main problems in country is the crisis of justice.

We have done many legal and institutional reforms, which no one has carried out in the past. If the next government maintains these reforms, there will be unlimited opportunities for people to get justice and there will be no crisis in justice delivery," he said. He made the remarks while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of a pilot project on legal aid in Sylhet.

The pilot project is being implemented in Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Sunamganj, Faridpur, Mymensingh, Rangpur, Dinajpur, Satkhira, Kushtia, Comilla, Noakhali, Rangamati districts.

Advocating for Alternative Dispute Resolution system for quick completion of the trial process, Asif Nazrul said that resolving disputes through legal aid takes one-tenth of the time compared to resolving them under conventional laws. Additionally, 90 per cent of people are satisfied with the resolution of disputes through legal aid and they do not even go to court to file a case," he said.
