DHAKA: The Supreme Court fixed January 3 for next hearing on the gazette notification that issued on lower court judges’ conduct rules.
A five-member Appellate Division bench, led by acting Chief Justice Abdul Wahhab Miah, fixed the date on Tuesday (January 2).
The apex court, in its order, said the hearing will not be conducted today as the prosecution requires one day time extension.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam was present at the court.
Earlier, on December 13 last year, the SC set January 2 for hearing on the same rules.
On December 11, the government issued the gazette notification on service rules and conduct for lower court judges.
However, following a verdict in a case known as ‘Masdar Hossain Case’ in 1999, the state was given instructions to introduce the gazette.
The state side was granted times in several occasions to publish the gazette.
