[vinnomot] Re: [khabor.com] MAGISTRATE ROKON UD DOULA publicly APOLOGY to THE CH IEF JU...

   The disgraced magistrate Rokon Ud-Doula has already publicly apologised for his conduct and remarks at a seminar organised by the BCS Administration Cadre Association. He, however, made some points which deserve to be reviewed by the government. These are as follows:
   An administration cadre needs to have 15 years' experience to be the chief judicial magistrate or chief metropolitan magistrate while a judicial cadre will need only 10 years' experience. The media is writing about the corruption of ministers and bureaucrats, but it cannot write anything about the judges' corruption in fear of contempt of court. An administration cadre has to retire from his job at the age of 57 while the judges retire at 67. This discrimination cannot go on.
   Moreover, bringing the magistracy under the law ministry is not separation of the judiciary. To ensure true separation of the judiciary, the magistracy needs to be brought under a separate secretariat under the Supreme Court.
   While members of the BCS Administration Cadre Association deplored the hectic move for the separation of the judiciary from the executive, urging the government to defer the enforcement of the separation, they do not have any disagreement in principle with the plan of the separation of the judiciary but demanded full preparation before enforcement of the decision in this regard, arguing that otherwise a chaotic situation would be created throughout the country.
