integrity in judiciary
Ensure quick justice by reducing case backlogs
The issue of legal complexities and the slow pace of the judiciary, leading to cases being stalled, is not new. In every country, thousands of cases remain unresolved for years. Even in countries like Europe and America, many cases are pending for extended periods. In India, there are thousands of cases that have been pending for over 30 years; however, the situation in Bangladesh is rare globally. In such a small country, a staggering 4.4 million cases are stuck! No one knows when these cases will be resolved.
Focusing on qualifications and integrity in judiciary
Over the past 15 years, the judiciary in Bangladesh has been severely politicized. We have already taken some initiatives to improve the environment of the judicial (lower) courts. The past 15 years of the Awami League government have established a legacy of misrule in the judiciary. As the advisor in charge of the Ministry of Law, I will do my utmost to implement legal reforms and appoint the right people to the right positions within the jurisdiction of my ministry.
