3 newly-appointed judges to take oath today

Three newly appointed judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) will take oath today (Thursday) morning.

A Supreme Court notification said Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan will formally administer the oath of office to the three newly appointed judges at 10:30am at the Supreme Court judges lounge.

Earlier on Wednesday, President Mohammed Shahabuddin earlier today made the appointments in line with Article 95 (1) of the Constitution, by elevating them from the High Court Division to the Appellate Division. Their appointment will come into effect from the date of their oath, according to a gazette notification issued in this regard.
With the new appointments, the total number of judges at the Appellate Division would be eight.
