Mukta, Mahamuda
This research critically examines the position of women under the family laws of Bangladesh, fo
cusing on the discriminatory practices embedded in religion-based personal laws. Despite constitu
tional guarantees of equality and non-discrimination under Articles 27 and 28, Bangladeshi women
continue to face legal and social inequalities in matters relating to marriage, divorce, maintenance,
guardianship, and inheritance.
The legal framework in Bangladesh is pluralistic, governed by separate personal laws for Muslims,
Hindus, and Christians. Each of these systems retains provisions that limit women's rights. Under
Muslim family law, women face inequality in inheritance, limited rights to initiate divorce, and
inadequate maintenance provisions. Hindu personal law, largely uncodified, offers no legal recog
nition for divorce or maintenance and restricts women’s inheritance rights. Christian family law,
though codified, still favors men in divorce proceedings and lacks progressive maintenance rules.
The study highlights inconsistencies between personal laws and Bangladesh’s constitutional and
international commitments, especially the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrim
ination Against Women (CEDAW), to which Bangladesh is a signatory. Reservations to key CE
DAW articles further hinder progress toward gender equality in family law.
Judicial interpretations have occasionally extended protections for women, but the lack of legisla
tive reform continues to perpetuate systemic injustice. The research concludes with practical rec
ommendations, including codification and reform of Hindu and Christian family laws, equitable
reforms in Muslim personal law, withdrawal of CEDAW reservations, and the introduction of a
uniform family code that upholds gender justice while respecting religious sentiments.
This paper underscores the urgent need for legislative, institutional, and social reforms to ensure
that women in Bangladesh enjoy equal rights and protections under the law, particularly in the
family domain.

Khan, Nirjhar Rifat Shishir
Independence of judiciary is the backbone of a nation for ensuring justice towards the people.
Bangladesh judiciary is independence according to our constitution. In 2007, judiciary separated
from the executive from a dynamic and land marking decisions of the Supreme Court of
Bangladesh. Judiciary can play a vital role in maintaining law and order. The Supreme Court of
Bangladesh pronounced some tremendous judgment which becomes a land mark not only for
Bangladesh but also for the many other states. But still now we have a doubt regarding the
independence of judiciary in practice though the constitution ensured its independence. My
proposed study aims to show that how for the judiciary independent in Bangladesh. If the
judiciary is independent and do not face any pressure or influence from any other organs then it
may work honestly may provide justice to the parties. So my study will provide a clear
conception at its concluding part that is the judiciary independent truly in practice and what are
the weakness and so recommendation regarding the proposed study.But at present the judges and
magistrates are being pressurized by the Executive organs of the state. The transfer of the judges
and magistrates are highly dependent upon the will of the executive organ. State needs to take
proper steps regarding the independence of judiciary.

Khan, Tamanna
The word „Public Interest Litigation' compromises some litigations performed with
the purpose of the privilege of the public and for reduction of public grievances. But it
can be said that, Public Interest Litigation suggests litigation for the preservation of
public interest.„Public Interest Litigation' has been subjected to judicial development
in Bangladesh since the renowned Case Kazi Mukhlesur Rahman vs Bangladesh and
another mostly known as Berubari Case. After failing to establish Standing Principle
perfectly through this early case by the Court as this case‟s subject-matter was under
Parliamentary approval and enactment, the FAP 20 Case finally has been described as
a perfect example of PIL by the AD in 1996 where PIL has been identified as a
particular type of Constitutional Litigation under the Bangladeshi legal system.
Afterwards, if public wrong or injury is identified by any member of the public,
he/she has option to file a writ petition on behalf of the group of people or vulnerable
section of the community. „Public Interest Litigation' is stated under Article 102 of the
Constitution.1Article 102(1) enables court to upholda ruling when a breach of
fundamental rights has been happened. Such kind of rights has been described under
Part III of the Constitution.2In this Article, Sub-Article 102(1)(a) authorizes court to
uphold an order imposing government to take action what is required by law and not
to take action what is forbidden by law.
