Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed has said the judiciary must undergo reform to remain “relevant” with the times. Speaking at a reunion event marking the 75th anniversary of Dhaka University’s Department of Islamic History and Culture on Saturday, he said the aim of reform is moral rather than administrative. Referring to that context, the chief justice said: “The judiciary cannot survive merely on the comfort of tradition. It must stay relevant with time. He added that law represents a nation’s moral history written in the language of justice, while history is a search for why society must strive to become better.
