An epoch-making initiative

Transparency International Bangladesh, in its annual report states that lower courts are one of the most corrupt institutions in Bangladesh. But, now it's clear that our Higher court is not free from such kind of "corruption cancer" allegation either.

The judiciary is the symbol of people's hope and reliability. An independent and fair judiciary is part and parcel of good-governance. For the most part, its the last resort of deprived people in getting justice.

As the government represents the people, it's its duty to make sure that no man regardless of his position in society is above the law.

To implement the aforesaid doctrine of equality and to establish a corruption-free judiciary, the government should change its mode regarding the appointment of additional judges only under political consideration. Partisan appointment in no way can bring the greater benefit for our country.

The judiciary must be kept out of controversy at any cost.
