Bangladesh’s top appeals court is reluctant to reinstate the caretaker government system as a temporary fix, preferring instead a lasting solution that would prevent repeated disruption, Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed has said. Justice Refaat also questioned at what point the caretaker system would take effect if it were to be reinstated. The chief justice made the remarks on Wednesday during the hearing of review petitions seeking reconsideration of the verdict that scrapped the caretaker government system. The hearing took place before the Supreme Court’s full Appellate Division bench of seven judges, presided over by the chief justice. On Oct 23, Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Parwar submitted a separate review petition, while freedom fighter Mofazzal Hossain lodged another with the Appellate Division.
