People Have Confidence in Judiciary: PM

The government's efforts to advance the judiciary generally, according to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, have given people faith in their ability to obtain justice.

She continued by saying that people have faith in the legal system.

On the premises of the Bangladesh Supreme Court (SC), she attended a ceremony to dedicate the "Smriti Chironjib" memorial monument in celebration of the court's 50th anniversary.

On December 18, 1972, to begin the voyage of the nation's highest court, the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered a speech from the location of the memorial monument.

The memorial monument has the names of 69 attorneys who died as martyrs in the nation's 1971 War of Liberation.

The Prime Minister stated that the country's top court has already digitized its operations and is maintaining cause lists, judgments, and case information online so that individuals may readily learn the status of their cases while traveling overseas.

According to her, Bangladesh's government has set a goal of being an intelligent nation by 2041.

She said that as part of the transition, steps had been taken to transform the legal system into an intelligent judiciary.

The chief justice in particular was congratulated by the premier because the judiciary is well on its path to being intelligent.

According to her, her administration has established virtual courts, which drastically reduce the massive backlog of cases.

In order to provide equal justice for all, the prime minister said that legal aid support programs had been implemented for the underprivileged and bankrupt litigants in all of the nation's courts.

She stated, "I think all these measures have made it easier to get justice."

At the same event, the Prime Minister placed the "Record Bhaban" of the SC's founding.

Additionally, she debuted the "Amader Bicharaloy" publication's cover.

The voyage of the Bangladesh Supreme Court was the subject of a film documentary about Bangladesh's development as an independent nation.

While Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique and Minister of Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Anisul Huq spoke, Speaker Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury was seated on the dais.

The welcoming message was delivered by Justice Obaidul Hassan, an appellate division judge.

Both the President of the Bangladesh Supreme Court Bar Association, Md. Momtazuddin Fakir, and the Attorney General of Bangladesh, Abu Mohammad Amin Uddin, spoke at the event.
