Bogura Additional District and Sessions Judge Rubaiya Yeasmin has been withdrawn and attached to the law ministry.
The steps have been taken on Thursday in consultation with the Supreme Court.
"Rubaiya Yeasmin has been withdrawn from Bogura following an instruction from the chief justice," said Supreme Court Registrar General Md Golam Rabbani.
Rubaiya Yeasmin will not be able to carry out judicial functions or any work at the ministry though she will get a salary and other relevant financial benefits.
A notification has already been issued to this effect, sources said.
On March 22, the law ministry sent a memo to the Supreme Court about the Additional District and Sessions Judge of Bogura Rubaiya Yeasmin, as the Law and Justice Division received an allegation from its own capacity and media reports against Rubaiya Yeasmin.
Media reports said that Rubaiya Yeasmin forced the mother of a student of Bogura Government Girls' High School to touch her feet and beg forgiveness for allegedly making a derogatory comment about her.
The students of the school staged a demonstration, blocking roads and demanding punitive action against Yeasmin.
