Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain today said the number of judicial officials (lower court judges) needs to be doubled to tripled to reduce the increasing backlog of cases.
There might be a remedy if the lawyers conduct cases virtually otherwise the backlog of 30 lakh cases will not be dealt with, he said while presiding over a six-member full bench of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court for virtually hearing and disposing of cases.
The chief justice made the observation after SCBA Secretary Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal requested him to increase the number of virtual courts for dealing with more cases.
Ruhul Quddus said only four HC benches are now virtually running for hearing and disposing of cases.
A full bench and chamber judge of the Appellate Division are virtually functioning for five days every week. Lawyers have been habituated to virtually move cases in last one year (of pandemic period). Currently, holy Ramadan is going and Eid-ul-Fitr is ahead. If the number of High Court benches is increased to at least 10, the lawyers would be benefited, Ruhul Quddus said.
Former SCBA vice president Md Ozi Ullah also urged the chief justice to increase the HC benches to deal with bail petitions (on which no rule was issued) and motions.
