Judicial magistrates

Saleh Ahmed Chowdhury, Dhaka
The CTG has done a commendable job in implementing the long overdue separation of judiciary from the executive branch of the government. This has already been yielding excellent results. Disposal of cases has been expedited and the volume of transacted business has gone up substantially. The Supreme Court has asked the government to provide the judicial magistrates with all facilities. The immediate need of judicial magistrates is residential accommodation. Hence, I would request the caretaker government to provide funds and arrange residential accommodation for them urgently in all district headquarters to enable the magistrates to discharge their functions smoothly. The next political government will not show any interest in the matter, because judicial magistrates will not toe their lines!
