Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed has announced plans to establish a separate secretariat to ensure the independence of the judiciary.
Speaking to judges from subordinate courts across the country, the chief justice outlined the judiciary's roadmap during an address in the Supreme Court's inner garden on Saturday morning, attended by nearly 2,000 judges.
"We have sought the government's cooperation to ensure judicial independence," Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed said.
"A separate secretariat for the judiciary will be established, which will operate under the Supreme Court. Additionally, a separate policy will be formulated for the appointment of judges, and rules for appointing judges to the Supreme Court should be introduced," he added.
The event also featured speeches from Legal Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul and Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman.
Judges from the Appellate and High Court Divisions of the Supreme Court, as well as Chief Justice Shah Abu Naeem Mominur Rahman and members of the Judicial Reform Committee, were present.
