Sircar, Moudud misinterpreted constitutions

Allege SCBA

Staff Correspondent
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) yesterday said Speaker Jamiruddin Sircar and Law Minister Moudud Ahmed misinterpreted the constitution of the country and the SCBA, and the rules of procedure of parliament.
"In their reaction to the cancellation of their membership of the Association, the speaker and the law minister again gave untrue and misleading statements before journalists," reads an SCBA press release.
SCBA President Advocate Mahbubey Alam and Secretary Enayetur Rahim regretted the speaker and law minister's "lack of knowledge" about the country's constitution, rules of procedure of parliament and the SCBA constitution.
On Wednesday, the speaker termed the ongoing lawyers' movement for withdrawal of a controversial judge "unconstitutional", while the law minister said it was "politically motivated".
The statement maintained that the demand for withdrawal of Additional High Court Judge Faisal Mahmud Faizee is not an unconstitutional and political demand. "The Bar Association has been voicing the demand for Faisal Mahmud Faizee's withdrawal because the debate over his LLB certificate has not been settled yet and his work as a judge is immoral and indecent since he himself sought justice.The Association's demand is targeted at protecting the image of the highest court and the judges."
The release went on: "Although members of the association have not created any obstruction in the work of the Chief Justice or any other judge, the two persons (the speaker and law minister) have given false and misleading statements."
The SCBA leaders said there is no scope for raising a point of order on the SCBA's ongoing movement as per the rules of procedure of parliament.
"The Speaker himself violated the rules of procedure by illegally allowing a discussion on the matter and issuing a ruling under Article 301 of the rules of procedure. The ruling is out of his jurisdiction," the press release noted.
The May 17 decision to cancel the membership of Sircar and Moudud, both barristers, which was taken at the emergency general meeting, was unanimous, it said. "The membership of Moudud and two others were cancelled on December 2, 1990 as per a decision of the general meeting in the same manner."
"So, proper steps have been taken against them as per the constitution of the Association," the press release argued.
Sammilita Ainjibi Samannay Parishad, a lawyers' body, meantime, has urged all lawyers for a countrywide daylong court boycott tomorrow to protest the speaker and law minister's remarks and murder of Advocate Khorshed Alam Bachchu.
Its Convener Barrister Amir-Ul Islam and other leaders in a joint statement asked all lawyers to boycott the court, hold meetings and rallies, and offer prayers in their respective organisations.
