The independence of the judiciary means the ability to conduct justice independently, free from interference from the legislative and executive branches. The Constitution of Bangladesh also mentions the establishment of an independent and impartial judiciary. The judiciary has not been able to become independent even in the last 26 years since the verdict in the Masdar Hossain case. Finally on November 30, the Supreme Court issued a Secretariat Ordinance for the complete independence of the judiciary. However, legal experts have expressed doubts about whether this separate secretariat will be sufficient for the complete independence of the judiciary.

Several recent incidents have intensified this question.
