Supreme Court lawyers engaging in violence a worrying sign for the country

But will the EC live up to its obligation?

Three ministers and a number of treasury and opposition bench MPs criticise a High Court verdict that scrapped the 16th amendment to the constitution empowering the House to impeach Supreme Court judges for incapacity or misconduct.

Supreme Court will rehear 161 cases in which former SC judge Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik issued judgements and orders after his retirement. The apex court will also rehear seven such cases dealt with by former chief justice Muzammel Hossain.

The draft of a law, determining specific rules for removal of Supreme Court judges on grounds of incapacity and misbehaviour to be placed in the upcoming budget session of parliament for its passage, the law minister said.

The Supreme Court affirms a government action on setting up pillars on the boundaries of Turag River at Mohammadpur in Dhaka after their demarcation.
