Supreme Court of Bangladesh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Supreme Court of Bangladesh is the highest court of law in Bangladesh. It is composed of a High Court division and an Appellate division, and was created by Part VI Chapter I of the Constitution of Bangladesh.
The High Court division hears appeals from lower courts and tribunals; it also has original jurisdiction in certain limited cases, such as writ applications under article 102 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, and company and admiralty matters. The Appellate division has jurisdiction to hear appeals from the High Court division.[1]
The Supreme Court is independent of the executive branch, and is able to rule against the government in politically controversial cases.[2]
