Dhaka: Law Minister Anisul Huq on Thursday said a code of conduct is also required for Supreme Court judges.

‘There should be a code of conduct for SC judges…I’ll request the Chief Justice to think about it,’ he said while talking to reporters after a meeting with a European Parliament delegation at his ministry.

The SC judges who have gone on LPR should not practise as lawyers in the Appellate Division until they complete the LPR period, he said.

The minister came up with the remarks a day after Justice Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, a retired HC judge, appeared before the Appellate Division as a defence counsel for convicted war criminal Mir Quasem Ali.
