Shahidur not becoming a judge again
Wednesday, 16 September 2015
The President had removed the judge on April 20, 2004 as recommended by the Supreme Judicial Council, which accused Shahidur Rahman of gross misconduct.
The Supreme Court has upheld a 2004 presidential decision to remove High Court division’s additional judge Syed Shahidur Rahman.
A four-member Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Surendra Kuman Sinha also scrapped a 2005 High Court verdict terming the move illegal.
He moved the High Court challenging the presidential order removing him from office. After hearing of its ruling, the court in 2005 declared the president's order illegal. Shahidur Rahman by then had already filed an application to the Chief Justice to allocate him a bench in the High Court.
Idrisur Rahman, who filed the public interest litigation against the HC verdict, said the verdict effectively meant that the president’s order removing Rahman stays in force, according to bdnews24.com.
