Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain today said that the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman will come true if people of the country get justice in short time.
The judiciary has been relentlessly working and will continue to work in order to establish rule of law and justice upholding the ideology of the Father of the Nation, he said.
The chief justice made the comment while presiding over a virtual meeting with the judges of the Appellate and High Court Divisions of the Supreme Court on the occasion of the National Mourning Day.
In the meeting, the chief justice said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had struggled till his last breath for establishing democracy and rule of law in the country.
“Bangabandhu first demanded for the separation of judiciary on February 6, 1956 when he was a member of the National
Assembly of the then Pakistan. Then, he gifted the Constitution on December 16, 1972 with the provision of separation of the judiciary,” he said.
Four Appellate Division judges and 28 HC Division judges attended the discussion through video conference.
Earlier in the day, the judges of the Appellate and HC Divisions paid tributes to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members, who were killed on August 15, 1975 by placing wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu at Judges’ Lounge on Supreme Court premises.
