No alteration to become sustainable without reform in judiciary: CJ

Chief Justice (CJ) Syed Refaat Ahmed has said proposals have been made to bring transformation in many sectors, but no alteration will become sustainable without the reform in the judiciary.

The Chief Justice said this at a scholarship distribution programme at Hakimpur Mohila Degree College in Dinajpur district on Monday. 

“I have taken charge as the Chief Justice right after the July-August mass uprising. I had presented a blueprint for a far-reaching reform to the nation within a very short time. We have to cross a long way, some of which are difficult, but we have to cross these in any way,” he said. 

Reiterating his call for reform in the judiciary, the CJ said this has become the synonym of the word "reform".

Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed handed over stipends among 10 meritorious students from ‘Syed Zafar Ahmed and 
Tabserunnesa Memorial Scholarship’ fund, named after his grandfather and grandmother. 

The stipends are being given yearly since 2005 from the fund.

Presided over by Principal of the college Mamunur Rashid Azad, the programme was attended, among others, by Supreme Court Registrar General Aziz Ahmed Bhuiyan, Appellate Division Registrar Md Hasanuzzaman, Dinajpur Senior 

District and Sessions Judge Alamgir Kabir, Deputy Commissioner Rafikul Islam, Superintendent of Police Marfot Hossain and Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Amit Roy.
