President Zillur Rahman yesterday urged the judges to neutrally discharge their duties entrusted upon them under the present independent judicial system to establish the rule of law in the country.
He made the call when a nine-member delegation of the newly appointed Additional Judges of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court led by Justice M Moazzem Hossain met him at Bangabhaban.
During the meeting, Zillur said the judges could play a significant role in establishing the rights of the citizens, as the higher court is the last place for their protection.
The additional judges expressed their deep gratitude to the president for giving them the appointment and sought his cooperation in discharging their duties.
Secretaries to the President's Office and concerned officers of the High Court Division were present at the meeting.
