Senior Supreme Court lawyer and Jamaat-e-Islami central executive member Shishir Monir has said that abolishing the judicial secretariat was a blow to the judiciary and destroyed public trust in justice. Speaking at a press conference at the party’s central office in Dhaka’s Moghbazar, he called for the immediate reinstatement of a separate judicial secretariat to guarantee judicial independence and fair justice for citizens.
Monir explained that after a 2025 High Court ruling mandated the creation of a separate judicial secretariat within 90 days, the government issued an ordinance on November 30, 2025, and inaugurated the secretariat on December 11 under then Chief Justice Dr. Syed Refaat Ahmed. However, the government later revoked the ordinance on April 10, 2026, following the publication of the detailed verdict. He said this reversal undermined judicial autonomy and placed judges under the control of the Law Ministry.
He argued that judges’ transfers, promotions, leave, and discipline should remain under the Supreme Court, not the Law Ministry, to preserve judicial independence. Monir warned that without such autonomy, lower court judges cannot work freely, and the justice system risks political interference.
