In this severe winter, the aspirants who came from the far reaches of the district were subjected to extreme irony.
It has been reported that the judges of Brahmanbaria Women and Child Suppression Tribunal-1 (District Judge) Muhammad Farooq had been being boycotted the court since January 1 in protest against his abusive comments on lawyers.
Last Tuesday, the concerned judges held a meeting among themselves regarding the situation. On that day, the court proceedings started much later than the scheduled time. Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, judicial employees' association started a human chain and strike in the court premises without prior announcement, creating deadlock in the judiciary.
According to several related sources, Judge Mohammad Farooq had a dispute with several lawyers including the leader of the lawyers' association based on the filing of a case on December 1. The lawyers were furious as they expressed their inability to take up the case as per the rules due to the lapse of time. In this incident, the district lawyers' association decided to boycott the concerned court from January 1 in a meeting on December 26. In this incident there is an adverse effect among the employees working in the court. They raised various allegations against the lawyers and decided to go on strike from Wednesday after holding a meeting of the Judicial Employees Association on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Kazi Ujjal Islam, vice president of the central committee of the employees' union, said, "We observed this human chain and strike against some lawyers in protest of interference in judicial work, stealing documents by entering the office, and beating the employees."
Meanwhile, hundreds of lawyers came to the court premises in the morning and expressed their surprise to see the judicial employees' human chain and strike. Meanwhile, hundreds of lawyers gathered in front of the district bar association building and started expressing angry reactions. At one point, the lawyers staged a protest in the court premises demanding the resignation of District Judge Sharmin Nigar.
District Bar Association President Lawyer Tanveer Bhuiyan denied the allegations raised by the Judicial Employees Union and said, "We have not yet given any program out of respect to the Law Minister and the Law Secretary." If the situation worsens, we will be forced to boycott the court until the District Judge is removed. Their allegations are false and fabricated. Basically, the court employees are carrying out this program to protect the Nazir Mumin of the court, the source of fraud and extortion.
