Certificate tampering

Recently, the Supreme Court Bar Association boycotted the Chief Justice's Court for two months in the wake of appointment of 19 additional judges. According to them, they are not qualified. Every past government appointed the judges who were loyal to them. Why is it happening again and again? The main reason is lack of stringent rule or policy behind the appointment of judges in the High Court Division. A mere guideline is provided in Article 95 of our Constitution which contains that a person shall not be qualified for appointment as a judge unless he is a citizen of Bangladesh and (a) has for not less than ten years been an advocate of the Supreme Court or (b) has for not less than ten years held judicial office in the territory of Bangladesh. The President will appoint them. In the original constitution, it was mandatory in case of appointment of a judge to consult the Chief Justice. But this provision has been omitted by the 4th Amendment.
