Constitution, fundamental rights and remedies

The constitution functions as the backbone of a country. It is a set of fundamental rules and conventions that determine the relationships between different branches of a state’s government, i.e., the legislative, executive, and judiciary. It outlines the powers of the rulers, describes the fundamental rights of the ruled, defines the relationship between ruler and ruled, and establishes the judiciary for redress when the ruler exceeds their authority and infringes upon the rights of the ruled. The Constitution of Bangladesh was adopted on November 4, 1972 and came into effect on November 16, 1972.

The global legal system and Bangladesh

Every country's legal system has its own specific dynamics. Each country, in its own form and independently, formulates its legal system based on its customs, culture, nature, and necessities. It is acknowledged that a country without a legal system is like a lifeless body, incapable of performing any functions. In the evolution of legal systems in different countries, various elements such as customs, religion, courts, etc., have had significant influence. This is why the expression of different laws varies from state to state, and similarities and differences exist among the elements of laws in different countries.

Tort law handles crime and compensatory cases

The term ‘tort' derives from Latin ‘tortum' of which literal meaning is something twisted, wrong, or crooked. Therefore, tort implies a conduct which is twisted or wrong. The term introduced in British law after the Norman Conquest. Its equivalent in English is 'Wrong' and in Roman it is called 'delict'. There is no usable synonym that in Bengali language. So sometimes it’s called ‘Civil wrong', sometimes ‘quasi-contract' or sometimes it is called ‘personal injured'.
