Assistant commissioner not magistrate
Syed Badrul Ahsan mentioned Rokonuddoulah's designation as magistrate in "The state, the law and the absurd" (Wednesday, October 24, 2007). There is no such designation as magistrate, Mr. Rokonuddoulah is an assistant commissioner. An assistant commissioner was allowed to exercise magistracy powers. Similarly, the so called 'Jela Proshasok' is actually deputy commissioner.
