President Zillur Rahman yesterday emphasised the need for quick disposal of thousands of cases pending with the court to end sufferings of the litigants.
“It's urgently needed to ensure that the people get justice in the shortest span of time,” he said when some 14 additional judges of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court called on him at Bangabhaban.
During the meeting, Zillur said role of the judges is very important in upholding the fundamental rights of the people in a democratic country.
“It is equally important to ensure that the innocent are not punished while culprits are set free,” he told the judges.
The judges apprised the president of various deficiencies of opportunities they are facing in carrying out day-to-day activities.
They sought the support of the president in this regard.
The president assured them all-out support in overcoming the deficiencies.
