STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman yesterday placed two bills in parliament, seeking to repeal three ordinances on judicial independence, judges’ appointments, and the budgetary authority entrusted to the Supreme Court Secretariat.

He also tabled the National Human Rights Commission (Repeal and Reinstatement) Bill, 2026, to reintroduce the National Human Rights Commission Act, 2009.

Discussions on the three bills would take place later in the House, Asaduzzaman said, as there are notes of dissent from members of the parliamentary special committee tasked with scrutinising the 133 ordinances adopted by the interim government.

Three Jamaat-e-Islami MPs issued notes of dissent on all three.

The law minister placed the Supreme Court Judges Appointment (Repeal) Bill, 2026, to repeal the Supreme Court Judges Appointment Ordinance, 2025.
