Govt to publish gazette on judges’ conduct by July 15

Staff Correspondent: Law Minister Anisul Haque has said that the government will publish a gazette notification on the disciplinary and conduct rules for lower court judges by July 15.

The minister said this while talking to the journalists after attending the closing ceremony of a training programme for assistant judges on Sunday.

Earlier, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) extended a two-week long timeframe for the government to publish a gazette notification on the disciplinary and conduct rules for lower court judges.

The court also asked the government to submit the published gazette notification on the disciplinary and conduct rules for lower court judges within the timeframe.

A seven-member bench of the Appellate Division led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order following a petition.
