Members of the newly elected executive committee of the Supreme Court Bar Association met Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Md. Anisul Huq on Monday at the ministry’s conference room in the Secretariat. During the courtesy meeting, the bar leaders emphasized the need for constructing a modern new building at the Supreme Court to ensure adequate seating and working facilities for lawyers, citing that the existing infrastructure is insufficient for the growing number of practitioners.

The Law Minister agreed with the rationale behind the lawyers’ demand and stated that infrastructural development of the judiciary and ensuring necessary facilities for lawyers are among the government’s priorities. He assured the association of necessary cooperation for the proposed new building project.

Both sides expressed optimism about continuing mutual cooperation between the government and the legal community to improve the professional environment for lawyers and enhance services for litigants.
