Controversial 2 left out of oath
Chief Justice decides to swear in 15 HC judges; state minister for law declines to comment; bar chief says image of judiciary brightens (April 18, 2010)Congratulations to the Chief Justice. And also to the SC Bar Association for its due role. The situation demands stronger protest and a bolder decisions.
Nilufar Yesmin Biswas This picture tells a lot. Oh my god, these are the people supposed to protect us from injustice!
S. Ali Nice work by the government and great decision by Chief Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim (not administering oaths of two newly appointed High Court judges of questionable character).
Kawser Jamal I think this is the right gesture from the Chief justice. A person who kicks the door should never be allowed to be a judge. I am not sure what is meant by accused in a murder case. Was it a false case? I think the court works on the philosophy of innocent till proven guilty. Thus, if he was acquitted, then it can't be said about him.
Talat Islam We need judges who have competence and proven temperament to be judges. As a nation we should be careful about those we put in our top justice departments. Stay above politics, please!
DR It's a shame that no one cared to look into their past and the president appointed them to the prestigious positions. How could the nation keep its trust in the judiciary if such appointments are made?
Anonymous I think the Chief Justice has set a unique example of holding high the image of the apex court. We were under the impression that newly appointed judges would be selected and recommended by the Chief Justice. But now we see the reverse!
Abul The Honourable Chief Justice has proved that he has a strong personality and can do anything against injustice.
Hossain It is a good decision to get back the dignity of the Supreme Court.
Mahfuj Congratulations to our Chief Justice for deciding not to administer the oaths of the controversial appointees. This decision will enhance the respect for and credibility of our judiciary.
Shahidul Islam Congratulations to the new Chief Justice for his bold step. Congratulations also to DS for printing the photos of the two controversial newly appointed judges.
A. Chowdhry If picture tells a thousand words, then this picture also says a lot about the persons responsible for picking them as candidates for the highest post in the judiciary. More transparency is needed for the general people to know what are the criteria which are used while selecting judges.
Saquib The decision of the Chief Justice not to administer the oath of office of two controversial appointees is a silver lining in the cloudy sky of Bangladesh judiciary. To uphold the dignity and honour of the Supreme Court is a must, and the Chief Justice sided with what is right and also what is just. Our respect, even if by inches, has edged higher for such a milestone decision.
Reaz Hassan How come these two could be selected as the judges of the High court?
Zahurul Haque Sagar Such an embarrassing situation would not have arisen if nomination & appointment of judges of the HC were made under certain statutory rules in this regard.
