BJSA deadline for removing all non-judicial men from ministry
Bangladesh Judicial Service Association (BJSA) yesterday demanded removal of all non-judicial officials from the law ministry including Secretary Kazi Habibul Awal and Solicitor Israil Hossain and appointment of judicial officials to ministry posts in seven days.
It said current appointments in the ministry are contrary to the principles, ideals and objectives evinced in the separation of the judiciary as well as the judgment in the Masdar Hossain case.
The BJSA made the demand at an extended meeting at Jagannath-Sohel Smriti auditorium on Dhaka sessions judge's court premises.
The BJSA leaders urged the government to increase salaries and benefits of judicial officials in line with the recommendations of the judicial service pay commission.
They appreciated the government's decision to withdraw administration-cadre officials Hedayetullah Al Mamun and Humayun Kabir from the posts of additional secretary and joint secretary of the law ministry.
They called for appointing officials from the judiciary to the two senior posts.
Dhaka District Judge AKM Ishtiaq Husain chaired the meeting. Judicial officials from different districts attended the meeting.
