Ensure accountability of the court
Through the verdict of Supreme Court, the 16th amendment of the Constitution of Bangladesh has been nullified. In a truly democratic country all the three organs of the government must be run and controlled directly or indirectly by the people or their representatives.
I believe that the scope of public accountability will vanish if the Supreme Judicial Council is reintroduced. This is absolutely an impediment of good governance. What we need is a system that holds judges accountable without making room for unfair political influences.
