Court inside jail absurd: Dr Kamal

Dhaka, Sep 13 (Just News): Eminent jurist Dr Kamal Hossain today said that setting up a court inside a jail is absurd.

If anybody is aggrieved for setting up a court in the jail, they can move to the high court questioning the legality of setting up such a court, he said.

He passed the comments at a view exchange meeting with Supreme Court lawyers. Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) arranged the programme at SCBA auditorium.

The name of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, whose trial is being held in jail and is one of the major discussions in the political quarters, was not mentioned.

Dr Kamal said Col Taher was tried by a court inside Dhaka Central Jail, which the people of the country did not consider well.

The eminent jurist and one of the framers of the constitution also said those who have insulted former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha will be hated forever.

"We will try them," Dr Kamal said.

He said that level playing field is needed for holding the next parliamentary election in a free and fair manner.
