Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain on Wednesday said all the judges will soon decide whether to close all the courts across the country to contain spread of coronavirus, reports BSS.
“We all are alert about this coronavirus. We all the judges will sit and decide soon what to do about this. Now Supreme Court is going through vacation. We would hold meeting before end of this vacation. We have to be aware so that general people and justice seekers don’t get affected,” he said.
The chief justice said these while talking to newsmen after planting saplings at Supreme Court arena marking the birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. “All the lower courts come under Supreme Court. So we will take decision in this regard. We have to think about thousands of justice seekers. If we go on full shutdown, people’s suffering may go up. So we will sit and take decision,” Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain added. Judges of both the divisions of the apex court planted saplings beside the fountain at Supreme Court arena.
