CJ for Bangla in court activities
Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque yesterday said use of the mother language is important in all spheres of life including in the activities of the Supreme Court (SC).
He said this while talking to journalists after paying homage to the language heroes of 1952 at the Central Shaheed Minar in the city.
“Bangla is our mother language. So, this language should be used everywhere,” said the chief justice.
He said the use of mother language should not just be limited to giving rulings; rather it should be used in all High Court activities.
Justice Muzammel Hossain, senior judge of the Appellate Division, along with other High Court judges was also present.
Justice Khairul Haque delivered nearly 200 judgements in Bangla when he was a judge in the High Court Division, according to the SC sources.
He has started delivering verdicts in Bangla since February 11, 2007 to show respect to the mother tongue and the language movement heroes.
The chief justice has recently started writing a judgement in Bangla in a case at the Appellate Division, said the sources.
