Minister to sit with Appellate Division Nov 16

Staff Correspondent: Law Minister Anisul Haque will sit with the justices of Appellate Division of the Supreme Court including the acting chief justice on November 16 with a view to resolving the problem to publish a gazette notification on the disciplinary and conduct rules for lower court judges.

Public relations officer (PRO) of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Md Rezaul Karim confirmed this to risingbd.com on Wednesday.

The date for the meeting has been rescheduled for an unavoidable reason, said Rezaul Karim.

Earlier on November 5, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told that the meeting might be held on Thursday (November 9).

On December 2 in 1999, the Supreme Court in the Masdar Hossain case issued a 12-point directive, including formulating separate disciplinary rules for the lower court judges.
