Thanks to your columnist Mr. Nazrul Islam (25 October) for throwing light on the mutiny of the admin cadre by quoting solid numbers. When a person without any background of education in law is awarded to rule as a magistrate based on a three-month training course on CrPc, it is a recipe for corruption and cronyism. No wonder that egos of these people were excessively bloated. I would urge the CTG not to give in to the blackmail. We need to give a decent burial to the vestiges of the British Raj. To give the devil its due, one good recommendation came out of their meeting. The Supreme Court should have its own Secretariat to administer the judicial service. This should be initiated during the tenure of the current CTG as we are well aware of the foot-dragging habits of our political governments on reform issues.
