SC asks govt to comply with earlier order

The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday once again directed the government to comply with its earlier order for providing manpower and transports for judicial magistrates as part of completing separation of judiciary from executive by July 1.
The six-member full bench, headed by Chief Justice Md Ruhul Amin, passed the order after hearing the judiciary separation case.
The court fixed July 2 for further order.
Earlier, the apex court had at least five times asked the government through the attorney general (AG) to recruit manpower and provide transports for judicial magistrates.
As the court sat yesterday morning for hearing the case, Attorney General Fida M Kamal presented before it some papers detailing the government's actions in implementing the court order.
Seeing very little progress in complying with its earlier order, the SC gave the directive.
