SC accepts judges’ conduct gazette
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday received the gazette that clarifies the disciplinary rules for lower court judges.
A five-member Appellate Division bench, led by acting Chief Justice Abdul Wahhab Miah received the gazette.
On December 11 last year, the government issued the gazette notification.
The lower judiciary was officially separated in November 2007 but the disciplinary rules for lower court judges had not been fabricated.
On December 2, 1999, the SC in the Masdar Hossain case issued a seven-point directive, including formulating separate disciplinary rules for the lower court judges.
