Separation of Judiciary soon to be a reality
The ministry of Law confirmed that the CG will soon submit the draft gazette notification to Supreme Court to establish an independent Judicial Service . The proposal, once approved by the CA will go to the president. The magistrates will then work under the Supreme Court and the Lower Court will be free of govt control. The separation will be final by an amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) as per the 12-point directive of the Supreme Court (SC) given in 1999. Since then past govt(s) dodged 22 deadlines set by SC for issuing the required rulings .
The four sets of rules are-
* Bangladesh Judicial Service Commission Rules,
* Bangladesh Judicial Service (Pay-Commission) Rules,
* Bangladesh Judicial Service (Formation of Service, Appointment, Promotion in the Service and Temporary Suspension and Removal) Rules and
* Bangladesh Judicial Service (Determination of Service Place, Controlling of Granting Leave, Maintaining Discipline and others Conditions of Employment) Rules.
