Allegations of corruption and misconduct among state-appointed legal officers in Bangladesh have resurfaced following the Attorney General’s recent show-cause notices to four Deputy Attorney Generals on July 5, 2026. Reports indicate that many government lawyers, including those in the High Court and lower courts, are accused of colluding with defendants, lacking professionalism, and misusing their positions for personal gain. Analysts say the Attorney General’s Office and Public Prosecutor’s Office have turned into political rehabilitation centers, undermining state interests and public trust in the judiciary.
The article traces the problem to politically motivated, temporary appointments that encourage unethical practices and weaken accountability. Despite repeated recommendations for a permanent attorney service to ensure transparency and merit-based recruitment, successive governments have failed to enact the necessary law. The Attorney General, Barrister Ruhul Kudduz Kajol, stated that no corruption will be tolerated and that proper action is being taken against proven misconduct.
Experts argue that establishing a permanent attorney service through competitive recruitment could improve case outcomes, reduce corruption, and restore public confidence in the justice system.
