The government has formalised the positions of 22 High Court judges, who were appointed as additional judges after the July Uprising, by making them permanent. At the same time, another judge appointed alongside them, Debasish Roy Chowdhury, son of BNP leader Nitai Roy Chowdhury, was excluded from the list. On Tuesday, the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs issued a gazette notification under the president’s order confirming the appointments. According to the notification, the president gave the order in accordance with Article 95 of the Constitution and in consultation with the chief justice. Under Section 6(2)(a) of the Supreme Court Judges Appointment Ordinance, 2025, candidates for the High Court Division must be at least 45 years old.
