15 addl HC judges take oath today

Sunday, 18 April 2010


Chief Justice (CJ) M Fazlul Karim has decided to administer oath of office to only 15 of the 17 newly-appointed additional judges of the High Court leaving out two controversial
appointees, apparently giving in to the demand raised by the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA). The CJ took the decision "due to unavoidable circumstances," a Supreme Court release said Saturday without elaborating. — UNB
