Friday, 14 November 2008


Six out of seven newly-appointed Additional Judges to the High Court (HC) will take oath Sunday morning, reports UNB.
Chief Justice MM Ruhul Amin will administer the oath at the Judges' Lounge, sources at the Supreme Court (SC) Registrar's office said Thursday.
President Professor Iajuddin Ahmed Wednesday appointed the seven Additional Judges to the HC for two years on recommendations of the Supreme Judicial Commission, a newly-constituted body for recruitment of higher court judges.
According to the sources, Advocate Kamal ul Alam, who was also selected for the vacant posts, regretted to be elevated to the bench from the bar on health grounds.
