UNB, Narsingdi :
Law Minister Anisul Huq on Wednesday said his ministry has no jurisdiction to establish a separate secretariat
for the judiciary.
“As per the Rules of Business, the Allocation of Business and the Constitution, the Law Ministry can’t establish a secretariat,” he said.
In the wake of media reports that the Law Ministry is not giving due attention to the
Chief Justice’s call for establishing a separate secretariat for the judiciary, Anisul came up with the remarks while inaugurating the extended building of the district judge court here. On Monday, senior most High Court judge Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain alleged that the Law Ministry does not pay enough attention to the Chief Justice’s call for establishing a separate secretariat for the judiciary. The Law minister said it had been clearly mentioned about the independence of the judiciary in the 1972 Constitution. “It’s also been stated in the current Constitution. Sheikh Hasina honours the judiciary’s independence and she is strongly committed to protecting it.” He said, the judiciary is now completely independent, and it will remain so in the days to come.
Turning to militancy, Anisul called upon all, including lawyers, to get united to eliminate the menace.
