Law Adviser Asif Nazrul yesterday said common people, particularly the political victims and rivals, are still filing wholesale cases against others since August 5, which is embarrassing for the current government.

"During the regime of the fascist government, ghost cases were filed against people. The then government itself used to file such cases," the adviser said.

"Our government is not filing such cases," he said.

Asif Nazrul made the remarks while talking to reporters after a meeting with the members of the judiciary reform commission at the Judicial Administration Training Institute (JATI) in the capital.

Asif Nazrul said he requested the members of the judiciary reform commission to provide suggestions to the government regarding how to deal with this crisis.

Want to leave culture of filing wholesale cases behind: Asif Nazrul

He also said the interim government is working to formulate a law for the appointment of High Court judges.

In 2008, an initiative was taken to make a law for the appointment of HC judges, but it was cancelled during the Awami League's regime.

At the meeting, Asif Nazrul appreciated the progress of the judiciary reform commission's activities.

He said the government is optimistic about the commission's way of working despite limitations.

Members of the commission, including its chief, Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman, were present at the meeting.
