BSS, CHITTAGONG :
Chief Justice (CJ) Surendra Kumar Sinha yesterday said that decision to establish a Circuit Bench of the High
Court (HC) in Chittagong would not be taken now.
“The issue of Circuit Bench is not a matter of taking immediate decision. The matters of prestige of the judges, constitutional regulations and case numbers should be considered before taking this decision”, the CJ said adding that decisions would be taken later after considering all factors relating to it.
SK Sinha came up with the comments while exchanging views with the leaders of “Circuit Bench Implementation Council (CBIC)” at Chittagong Circuit House.
The CJ also said previous government established a Circuit Bench in Chittagong out of ‘obsession’ and it was contradictory to the constitution.
Residential facilities for the judges should also be taken into consideration before establishing a Circuit Bench, he added. CBIC president and District Pubic Prosecutor Advocate Abul Hashem also spoke at the view exchange meeting.
