Former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque made the call after visiting the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka on International Mother Language Day on Wednesday. Haque, who currently heads Bangladesh Law Commission, said: “Bangla should be used at all levels at the High Court. It is possible if the chief justice and others are willing to do so.”Haque started writing verdicts in Bangla in 2007 when he was a High Court judge. But the practice of using Bangla for official purposes has not been visible in the High Court till now. Hearings are done in Bangla,” he said brushing off the claim that there was no use of Bangla in the High Court.
