Saturday, 29 December 2007


Law Secretary Kazi Habibul Awal said Friday the dignity of the district judges is 'very high' as they have to maintain the universal norms and behaviour in all areas of their lives, reports BSS.
The role of the district judges is very important as they need to contribute a lot while discharging their duties, he said while presiding over an opinion exchange meeting at the conference room of the Judicial Administration Training Institute (JATI) in the city.
The Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Ministry organised the meeting. Additional Law Secretary Syed M Harun Osmani and Registrar of the Supreme Court Md Iktedar Ahmed also addressed the meeting.
The law secretary said the district judges should be sincere in developing uniformity in their judgment through making interactions among themselves.
Responding to the problems highlighted by the district judges at the meeting, he said many problems would be addressed in a reasonable time, as the government was always sincere to provide all necessary support to the judges despite its constraints.
In his speech, the registrar of the Supreme Court said the judiciary separation was a long awaited aspiration of the people and the constitutional obligation as the people had high expectation from the judiciary system.
He said that the appointment of 391 candidates in the judiciary was under process of the Judicial Service Commission and their appointment would be made soon.
A good number of disputes were settled during the first month after the judiciary was separated, he said adding sincere and efficient judicial magistrates made that possible.
