Supreme Court to rehear 168 cases

Staff Correspondent: The Supreme Court is going to hold rehearing in 168 cases in which former SC judge AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik issued judgments and orders after his retirement.

The apex court will also rehear six other cases dealt with by former chief justice Md Muzammel Hossain on the same ground.

The decision came in line with the statement of the CJ Sinha in January this year that writing any judgement or order by a judge after retirement is unconstitutional.

Anisur Rahman, personal secretary of Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha told risingbd.com it was decided on April 26 that two benches of the Appellate Division of the apex court will hold the hearings of the 168 cases dealt with by Justice Md Muzammel and Justice Manik from May 5.
