Monday, 3 December 2007
When the judges of the civil courts at district-level enjoy a month-long annual vacation from December 1, the High Court (HC) Sunday ordered the government to constitute civil vacation courts in each district for disposing of urgent cases. The HC judgment directed the Law Secretary to take step towards constitution of civil vacation bench in each district with the joint district judge who would dispose of urgent civil matters during vacation. A HC division bench, comprising Justice ABM Khairul Huq and Justice Abdul Awal, delivered the judgment following a public-interest litigation writ petition. — UNB
