Download PDF The government yesterday approved organograms for the Judicial Service consisting 4,500 posts and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) having 1,281 posts.
This measure of the government is seen as a key step towards separation of the judiciary from the executive as per directives of the Supreme Court (SC) as well as strengthening the ACC further.
After a meeting of National Implementation Committee for Administrative Reforms (NICAR) held in the Chief Adviser’s Office, presided by Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed, Law Adviser Barrister Mainul Hosein informed the journalists of the approval.
He said almost all formalities have been completed to separate the judiciary from the executive branch of the government. The judiciary will become “absolutely separate” from the day the SC fixes for implementation of an amendment to the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), said Mainul.
Organogram of the Anticorruption Commission has also been approved during the meeting of NICAR, he added.
Under the Judicial Service organogram, 655 out of 4,500 posts will be of magistrates. Among them, 600 will be judicial magistrates and 55 metropolitan magistrates. The rest of the positions are reserved for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade employees.
Meanwhile, law secretary Kazi Habibul Awal informed the media that a number of magistrates already expressed their desire to work permanently with the judiciary after applications were invited.
On December 2, 1999, the SC gave a 12-point directive to the then government for separation of the judiciary from the executive.
The successive governments on several occasions sought extra time for the implementation of the directives.
On January 16, the interim government framed four sets of new rules. On Feb 11, it announced the CrPC (Amendment) Ordinance in line with the Supreme Court directives.
Meanwhile, ACC Secretary Mokhles-ur-Rahman said the government has approved the proposed ACC organogram, increasing its manpower from 650 to 1,281, including 6 director general posts.
According to the new organogram, there are 19 posts of director, one system analyst, 81 deputy directors, 10 prosecutors, 133 assistant prosecutors, one public relations officer, 124 sub-assistant directors, 21 public court inspectors and 130 assistant inspectors.
The organogram also has a provision for six divisional offices and 22 district offices.
