Amendments to Bar Council Order challenged in High Court
UNB, Dhaka
The High Court yesterday issued a rule asking the government to show cause in three weeks why the amendments to the Bar Council Order should not be declared illegal.The rule came upon a writ filed by two advocates challenging the amendments made in September to the Bar Council Order 1972. The amendments barred election to the Bar Council of anyone for two consecutive terms. These provide for mandatory submission of its annual audit report for scrutiny to the Parliament's Public Accounts Committee and inclusion of Supreme Court judges in the enrolment committee.
