Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday laid high importance on consensus and good relations among three state organs – executive, legislature and judiciary – “which have to work as complementary to each other”.
“Here we expect a situation where the three organs of the state – executive, legislature and judiciary – would not supersede each other or show their strength to each other,” she said.
The three organs should have respect to each other, she said while inaugurating the newly constructed Judges Complex, the residential complex for Supreme Court judges, in Dhaka.
“A nation cannot function if we take the situation to the point of ‘obey and disobey’ the decision of each other, she said, adding that all the three organs should function in a planned manner to run the state properly.
The prime minister said every constitutional body has to exercise power in public interest. We should not do anything which may disrupt public interest or create conflict with others, she added. 
Hasina extended her thanks to the judiciary for their courageous delivery of the judgment in Bangabandhu murder case which was the beginning of establishing justice in Bangladesh after 1975.
He also thanked the judiciary for successful trial of the notorious war criminals of 1971 saying your every verdict was a milestone making the journey of Bangladesh smoother as an independent nation.
Pointing out the long process of formulating a law, the prime minister said elected representatives of the people are entitled to frame laws in public interest.
“If any law is declared null and void by a two-member bench then all efforts behind the process goes in vein,” she said, adding the matter should be considered more carefully.
Hasina said the residential complex was constructed considering the safety and security of the judges as well as modern housing facilities. Same steps are being taken at the district and sub-district levels, she added.
The prime minister said the government is taking steps for trial of notorious criminals through video conference between the prosecution and the defence from courts and jails.
Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha alleged that a vested quarter is out there creating a distance between the government and the judiciary.
“A vested quarter is there engaged in an evil design to create a distance between the government and the judiciary, and this is how they’re creating misconceptions among people with wrong information,” he said.
Sinha said the government has taken some very important decisions regarding the judiciary a couple of days back, but the chief justice, as the guardian of the judiciary, was not kept in the loop.
“Giving totally wrong information and hiding the facts, these decisions have been realised from the head of the government,” the chief justice said, adding, “There wouldn’t have been any misunderstanding had there been discussions with the chief justice prior to taking the decisions on such important matters.”
The chief justice, however, did not elaborate the matters he was referring to.
