‘Administrative Reasons’: 31 staffers of HC Division transferred

The Supreme Court administration has transferred all 31 employees of the affidavit and filing sections of the High Court Division for “administrative reasons”.

SC spokesman Md Saifur Rahman told The Daily Star that the transfer orders were passed on December 1 and 2.

All 31 employees of the two sections of the HC have been transferred to other sections of the division, and employees from other sections of the HC have been transferred there, he added.

Meanwhile yesterday, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told reporters at his office on the SC premises that the transfer of the employees demonstrates the firm stand of the chief justice against corruption and irregularities.

Some stern action need to be taken when corruption takes place in an institution, he said. 

Earlier on Monday during the proceedings of the Appellate Division, the chief justice expressed disappointment at the incident of including a case to serial 89 for hearing as it was scheduled to be included in the third serial.
