The Appellate Division of Bangladesh’s Supreme Court has released the full verdict reinstating the caretaker government system for election periods. The 74-page judgment, written by former Chief Justice Dr. Syed Refaat Ahmed and published on the court’s website on March 15, 2026, states that the most recently retired chief justice will serve as the head of the caretaker government. The ruling was originally delivered on November 20, 2025.
According to the verdict, the caretaker system will take effect from the 14th national election. Legal experts noted that the current parliament retains the authority to amend or remove this provision if it chooses. The decision has been described by BNP lawyer Ruhul Quddus Kajol as a milestone for the nation, emphasizing that it serves the entire country rather than any political party.
The ruling reverses the earlier abolition of the caretaker system, which had been a subject of intense political debate in Bangladesh. The publication of the full verdict provides legal clarity ahead of future elections.
