Reduce litigants' sufferings thru quick justice: Anisul

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq has called for swift justice delivery to alleviate sufferings of the people, reports UNB.
He conveyed this message when female deputy attorney generals (DAGs) and assistant attorney generals (AAGs) met him at his office on Wednesday afternoon to congratulate him for serving for the third consecutive term as law minister.
Secretary to the Law and Justice Division, Golam Sarwar, was also present on the occasion.
Referring to the fast track of many cases to reduce the backlog of cases, the minister told the DAGs and the AAGs that many writ petitions are filed in the High Court. These "intimations" have to be done quickly.
He said that the ministry seeking "stay" in the High Court can give instructions through the Solicitor's Office to vacate it. If it is processed a little faster and the information is given to the Ministry of Law, then it will be possible to work quickly on disposal.
Highlighting various steps of the government to ensure justice, Anisul said the National Legal Aid Services Organisation was also established by the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to ensure justice. She enacted the Legal Aid Act in 2000 and established the National Legal Aid Agency under this Act, the minister said.
