Chief Justice Forms 3 HC Benches to Dispose of Urgent Cases Virtually

Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain has set up three High Court benches to hear and resolve urgent cases online. 

Justices Obaidul Hassan, Jahangir Hossain Selim, and Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar will run a bench each.

On Sunday, Chief Justice formed the benches on the basis of a decision of a full court meeting with the involvement of the judges of both divisions of the Supreme Court. The meeting was arranged by way of a video conference.

The chief justice is going to take a similar arrangement for lower courts across the country.

It will issue the necessary directives in accordance with the order issued by President Md Abdul Hamid on Saturday to enable the virtual court to function.

The operation of the apex courts and the lower judiciary has been suspended since 26 March following the corona situation.

An ordinance allowing courts to conduct digital information technology trials was approved at a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on 7 May.
