SCBA stages sit-in today
Staff Correspondent
The Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) stages a sit-in demonstration today at the chief justice's (CJ) entrance to the Supreme Court to protest his allowing Additional High Court Judge Faisal Mahmud Faizee to sit on his bench yesterday.Sources said the SCBA may announce tougher programmes such as fasting and boycott of the chief justice's court from the sit-in. On Saturday, the SCBA urged Chief Justice Syed JR Mudassir Husain to no more allow Faizee to sit on any bench after Bangladesh Bar Council cancelled Faizee's enrolment certificate. It had announced that it would stage a sit-in from 8:30am to 10:15am if the chief justice did not meet their demand. The Bar Council, in an unprecedented move on April 24, cancelled Faizee's enrolment certificate on the grounds of his providing false information about his LLB exam results during enrolment. "There is no question of backtracking on the movement," SCBA President Advocate Mahbubey Alam told reporters yesterday.
