During his tenure, Mahbubey Alam tried several times to resign from the position of Attorney General to contest the elections to the National Assembly. But Mahbubey Alam was a very loyal person to the leaders of the current Awami League government. Therefore, the government did not feel the need to seek any other alternative in life to Mahbubey Alam’s qualifications and abilities.
Speaking to various Public Ministry officials and Supreme Court lawyers, who did not want to be named, it emerged that the government attaches importance to the appointment of a new Attorney General after the death of Attorney General Mahbubey Alam. So the recently resigned additional attorney general Murad Reza and Md. They tried to become the attorney general. Momtaz Uddin Fakir. But they quit out of anger, naming none of them. However, the media have been told that the reason for his resignation is “personal”.

The sources further said that the two additional attorneys general had prepared their resignation letters on October 8. Two days later, after a holiday, they submitted their resignations from the ministry to send to the president.
Maryland. Momtaz Uddin Fakir was elected Clerk of the Supreme Court Bar Association in 2001-2002. Before that, he was co-editor of the association from 1994 to 1995.
Meanwhile, the lawyer said that the current president of the association has been appointed as attorney general. Momtaz Uddin Fakir said that even if he resigns, we will meet again.
In this regard, Momtaz Uddin Fakir told Jago News: ‘I have resigned for personal reasons. I used to practice at the bar before. Now I will be a regular in practice (again) as a Supreme Court attorney.
However, the Additional Attorney General. Murad Reza said nothing.
