Remarks about some lawyers, not all
The chief justice's August 18 comments during the hearing of a case were not about all lawyers in general but some in Laxmipur Bar Association who had constructed a building illegally, said Attorney General Mahbubey Alam yesterday.
He was addressing a general meeting of Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) at its south hall where SCBA leaders demanded withdrawal of the comments.
Bangladesh Bar Council Vice Chairman Abdul Baset Majumder termed the comments “unexpected”, saying it affected the whole community.
Mahbubey requested lawyers not to take any rash decision for sake of maintaining good relations between the bar and bench. However, some lawyers hurled abuses at him.
Yusuf said they would take a decision on Sunday.
