Bangladesh’s Supreme Court judge Surendra Kumar Sinha has sought Indian judicial training for judges in his country, says the ‘Times of India’.
The paper quoted Sinha, now on a visit to Delhi, as saying that he was impressed by the rigor of judicial training imparted in India’s state judicial academies and the national judicial academy.
Sinha asked Altamas Kabir, Chief Justice of India’s Supreme Court, for help in training judges from Bangladesh.
He is leading a 5-member Bangladesh delegation to India now.
Kabir said it was possible to train Bangladesh judges in India provided the two governments worked out an agreement.
“On principle, we agree to train judges from Bangladesh. There should be no problem with that,” Kabir was quoted as saying.
Justice Sinha was also impressed by the complete computerisation of judicial records in India and said this should happen in Bangladesh as well.
“Sooner the better.”
Bangladesh’s judiciary is quota-riddled with positions reserved from children of former judges, women, tribals and children of freedom fighters and many believe this affects quality.
