CJ unhappy over absence of some dist judges at offices
Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque yesterday expressed annoyance over absence of some district judges at their offices during the office time.
Supreme Court (SC) registrar's office sources said the chief justice telephoned at least 10 district judges between 9:00am and 9:15am yesterday, but got response from only two of them.
He asked the registrar's office to issue notice to eight district judges to show cause why they were not present at their offices in the morning.
The chief justice also directed the registrar's office to issue a circular asking all the judges and staffs of the subordinate courts to make maximum use of the office times so that more cases are disposed of quickly at those courts.
SC Registrar Ashraful Islam told The Daily Star that his office will take steps as per the chief justice's directions.
