‘Tribunal’s remark on recording rape case embarrassing’

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Anisul Huq on Sunday said statement of Judge Mosammat Kamrunnahar of Dhaka 7th Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal over registering rape case is embarrassing for other judges.

“That (statement of the said judge) was a wrong direction for the law enforcement agency. So, taking action against her was very necessary, that’s why action was taken against her. She will be asked to show cause. She will be asked to explain why she made that observation,” the law minister said.

Anisul Huq said this while talking to newsmen about seizing the judge’s trial conducting power.

Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain early today temporally seized the trial conducting power of Judge Mosammat Kamrunnahar of Dhaka 7th Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal and asked her not to sit in the courtroom from today.

The judge in Raintree hotel double rape case judgement, asked police not to register rape cases 72 hours after the incident.
