Staff Reporter :
The leaders of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) on Saturday said that they would co-operate with the newly appointed Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain in the interest of the independence of judiciary.
They made this hope in a press briefing held on Saturday evening at the bar auditorium after a meeting of the executive members of the organization.
They took decision to cooperate with the newly appointed Chief Justice. But they are not happy at the step to supercede the seniority.
Bar President Advocate Zainul Abedin, Secretary Barrister A M Mahbub Uddin Khokan, Senior-Vice-President Md Ozi Ullah, Vice-President Umme Kulsum Rekha and other leaders were present at that time.
Advocate Zainul Abedin said, “People of the country were anxious when the post of the Chief Justice was lying vacant for several months. Finally the President has appointed a new Chief Justice, however, violating the seniority.”
“But we hope that the new Chief Justice will try to remove the wounds of the judiciary and he will also try to bring back people’s confidence in the judiciary.”
