Judiciary shouldn\\\'t cross jurisdiction: Anisul Huq

Law Minister Anisul Huq said Monday that the judiciary should not take any such step that might create anarchy in the country's judicial system, reports UNB.
The Law Minister, however, said the government welcomes the steps taken by the court on its own motion over public interest cases but the judiciary should not cross its judicial jurisdiction.
He made the remark while addressing as the chief guest the closing session of a seminar titled 'Australia and Bangladesh: Sharing Experiences in Protection of Human Rights' at Brac Centre Inn.
Asked whether his comment came in light of the Narayanganj seven-murder issue, Anisul Huq said, "I've made the comment in general keeping everything in mind."
Following the seven-murder, Dr Kamal Hossain filed a writ petition and the court ordered the arrest of three the then RAB officials.
Commenting on the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the law Minister said the institution is functioning independently and the government is sincere to establish human rights.
Earlier, voicing displeasure over the weak law of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), its Chairman Prof Dr Mizanur Rahman Monday said human rights become the casualties in Bangladesh due to weak rule of law.
He said they have made recommendations to the President seeking his intervention to make necessary changes in the law to help the NHRC play far more effective role than it is playing today. "We don't know when the law will be amended. Under the existing situation, we're tying to find ways and means," he added.
