By the way, on December 16, 2019, the Superior Court suspended the processing of the Gazette issued directly to the son of a judge as a Superior Court attorney. At the same time, the court issued a rule asking why the publication of the gazette should not be outlawed as a Superior Court attorney. A High Court bench composed of Judge Tariq ul Hakim and Judge Iqbal Kabir approved the order.
According to the order petition, Jumman Siddiqui, the son of a High Court judge, failed to pass the Bangladesh Bar examination on several occasions. However, on September 19 of last year, Jumman Siddiqui was directly listed in the Superior Court as a lawyer and the gazette was published on October 31 of last year.
