Law Minister Advocate Anisul Huq on Thursday said that the government would publish the gazette notification on the rules determining the guidelines of lower court judges within December 3 if the President gives consent on the matter.
He said this to journalists after holding an hour-long meeting with the judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court at the official residence of the
Acting Chief Justice, Md Abdul Wahhab Miah, in the evening.
“There were some disagreements on the rules with the SC judges. Finally we came out in a consensus over the issue at the meeting,” Anisul Huq said.
On November 5, after hearing on Masdar Hossain case, known as judiciary separation case, Attorney General Mahbobe Alam said Law Minister Anisul Huq may hold meeting with the judges of the Appellate Division of the Sureme Court on publishing a gazette notification on the rules.
That day the Appellate Division granted four weeks time to the State side to publish the gazette notification and fixed December 3 for the next hearing on the matter.
A five-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by the Acting Chief Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah passed the order after considering the time prayer filed by the Attorney General.
On October 8, 2017, the Appellate Division extended the time till November 5, 2017 after the Chief Justice went on leave.
The Appellate Division gave 12 directives in the verdict of Masdar Hossain case. To formulate the rules determining the guidelines of lower court judges was among those directives.
The Law Ministry sent a draft rules on May 7 last year to the Supreme Court, which amended that draft but the ministry didn’t publish a gazette yet.
