Majority of court staff involved in graft; says AG

Staff Correspondent: Attorney General Mahbubey Alam has said a large number of court officials and employees are involved in corruption.

He said, "If this situation continues, it will be difficult for them who are still now honest to keep their honesty upheld."

The AG said this while giving a felicitation to new Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain at the court number-1 of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Sunday.

The most awful matter is that some particular courts have become the court of particular lawyers, he added.

Many litigants are maintaining communication to judges’ children and wives, who are practicing as lawyers, thinking that they can win in the cases if those are moved by those lawyers, the AG said.

Previously, the relatives and children of the judges were in law profession but such situation was not created, he added.
