No rule to appoint CJ based on seniority

“It's not right that laws or rules were violated in appointing the new Chief Justice. Without reading the service rules of the Supreme Court, BNP leaders are making misleading statements over the issue,” said the AL policymaker while speaking at a discussion at Dhaka Reporters' Unity.
