Attorney general Abu Mohammad Amin Uddin on Sunday said that no political case was filed in Bangladesh.
鈥楢s far as I am concerned, no political case is filed in Bangladesh. The police do not even file any political case. They become informants, if any incident occurs. Then the state becomes the plaintiff and handles the cases,鈥� he said, while talking to journalists after inaugurating Varendra University Moot Court Club in Rajshahi.
In response to a question, Amin Uddin said that filing a case under the Cyber Security Act was not easy as maximum precautions were taken in this law, so that no one was harassed.
鈥楾his law is said to be applied carefully, and the one, who files a case under it, has to prove a lot [before filing the case],鈥� he added.
Referring to the number of pending cases with courts, the attorney general said that most of the cases in developed countries were settled through compromise and settlement, resulting in fewer cases for trial.
鈥業n Bangladesh, almost all cases go to court for trial. Each of these cases requires testimony and evidence. These processes take a lot of time. A judge has 20, 25, 50 or 100 cases. Then it takes time to settle. And more cases are being filed every day`,鈥� he said further.
Later, the attorney general participated in a seminar, organised by VU law and human rights department, as chief guest.
Supreme Court lawyers Minhajul Haque Chowdhury and Muhammad Ashraf Ali spoke at the seminar with VU law and human rights department coordinator professor Abu Nasser in chair.
