Md Ashraful Islam, a district judge and a member of Bangladesh Judicial Service Association, was appointed registrar of the Supreme Court (SC) yesterday. Chief Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim appointed Ashraful, who was performing as director in-charge of Bangladesh Judicial Training Institute, as the post of registrar fell vacant on April 17 following resignation of Md Shawkat Hossain, sources said. Shawkat resigned from the office of SC registrar as he was appointed a judge of the High Court on April 11 by the president and he took oath on April 18. Additional SC registrar M Atowar Rahman has been discharging as acting registrar after the office fell vacant. Atowar told The Daily Star yesterday that the chief justice has appointed Ashraful as new registrar after the ministry of law has placed his service on Monday to the SC as per desire of the chief justice.
