Justice Abdus Sattar

Justice Sattar came into political scene as vice president of Bangladesh following a failed military coup in the Chittagong circuit house resulted in the demise of the notorious military dictator Zia. Later he was elected president as a BNP candidate. As a token of his loyalty to his late mentor general Zia, Sattar, as soon as he got the chair, contributed an enormous financial grant (Tk 100, 000) to Zia's widow from the state fund and a mansion (CMLA residence), covering about eight bigha of land, at 6 Shahid Mainul Road in Dhaka Cantonment. Not only that, gracious Justice Sattar poured all possible favors to Mrs. Zia and two of her would be tycoons of Bangladesh. For example the state has to bear the educational expenses, home and abroad, for her offspring's. Despite such generous support Koko (Zia's younger son) was expelled from all the schools he was enrolled in and returned home to take part in family business being kicked out, due to his the impervious intellectual capability by the Authorities of an Australian college. One may ask why the hell the Judge dreadful showed such favor to a usurper's family when the children of publicly elected presidents/ prime ministers such as Syed Nazrul Islam and Tajuddin Ahmed do not get a dime from the state. Sattar's mentor was an ordinary major during the liberation war and became a president by cowardly back stabbing them.
In 1981 a special military tribunal set to try general Zia's murder unjustifiably convicted 13 officers of Bangladesh army, all former freedom fighters, with death penalty. Following this so-called verdict, the wives of those convicted officers rallied at the gate of the Bangabhaban for weeks for presidential pardon. Justice Sattar, then president did not even see them.
In March 1982, due to the deterioration of law and order around the country, Justice Sattar handed the power over to general Ershad. Not only that to legitimize Ershad's claim for power, he even did not hesitate to condemn, in his presidential speech, his own party BNP as a bunch of terrorists and corrupt politicos. |
Justice Latifur Rahman
In 1996 the fallen military dictator Ershad appealed to the high court against his conviction in the notorious Janata tower corruption case. As is always the case with Ershad, he secretly met Justice Latif and offered him a big chunk of money to get a favorable verdict. Later an audiotape of their negotiation to fix the right amount of bribe was published in the newspaper resulting in the termination of Justice Latif's career.
Chief Justice Mostafa Kamal: During his student life in Dhaka university, Justice Kamal was a member of the Islamic Brotherhood. In those days his comrades at arms were Mohammed Toha and Syed Ishtiak Ahmed. After retirement he has reaffirmed his faith in Islamic fundamentalism and is preaching Islam with renewed vigor after living a long span of life with remarkable voluptuousness.
Chief Justice Latifur Rahman
As per the constitutional requirement the retired CJ Latif took oath as the chief of the caretaker government to ensure a free and fair election for 2001. Here are some examples of his 'fair', 'neutral' and 'unbiased' activities:
1. He caught the public with utter surprise by removing a number of high officials including 13 secretaries within a few hours of his appointment. All but the hard core cynics applauded his prophetic commitment to fairness.
2. Later CJ's rock solid neutrality betrayed a thin crack as he ordered a record number of transfers over night as per the recommendation of a certain 'god loving bearded' quarter.
3. Then to ensure divine fairness and neutrality, CJ Latif reshuffled the whole administration. But despite his drastic reshuffling his government miserably failed to curb terrorism and recover illegal arms, the rationale for, ostensibly, his administrative reshuffling.
4. On the day of the election CJ Latif told law enforcement forces to play hard against foul-doings. Accordingly his loyal army and police, hand in hand with their Muslim brethren from BNP and Jamaat, bashed the Awami leaguers and the Hindus (in remote areas where no international representatives could go) so hard that they could not show up in vote centers at all creating a perfect opportunity for God-sent angels to vote on their behalf.
5. In rural areas Latif's forces kicked out the polling agents of Awami League (because they did not have beards and refused to prove that they were duly circumcised) from the vote centers and called upon the incorporeal faristah's (Islamic angels) to cast (fake) votes for those parties whose leaders are:
a. positively circumcised (despite one being a female the factuality of whose circumcision was verified by the Pakistan army intelligence and also by a personal doctor who is assured the presidential post for his testimony);
b. have beards so that the Jew owners of razor companies can go broke and provide support for thousands of tiny angels who can hang and play on their beards
c. never use toothbrush instead they only use branches of certain trees imported from Saudi Arabia
d. none of them use toilet papers because those papers have Laden's photo printed on it and use pebbles and mud instead
e. males have at least four wives (or one official consort plus half a dozen maid servants who are annually sacked because they get mysteriously pregnant by the genies)
f. the males also follow certain rules for copulation. They never lift their
lungee (skirt like robe) up for copulation but always untie it from the waist.
6. Due to Latif's die hard diligence the parties with more bearded and circumcised members won the election as they, thanks to the presence of the transvestite angels, got more seats than those parties whose members offensively care less about the additional loose skin at the tip of their genitalia and who do not boast so
much of their Muslim lineage as much as they are of their grandmas because they were not raped by the Arabian lechers who ruled Bangladesh two hundred years. Unlike the victors who are proud of their stripped genitalia and the rapists of their grandmas who they venerate and feel proud of their surnames, the uncircumcised groups are content about their past. They do not ignore the fact that they are descendents of lower caste Hindus.
7. Some cynics, may Allah burn them forever in hell, say that it was not so much the blessing of Allah that made the Islamic parties won the election as it was a trick played by a clique formed and paid for by the owner of some Western oil company. Because the Kafir Jews know that the circumcised people have a neck for money. They know that for money they can even sell their wives (of course they can marry few more) So the vile Jews and Christians supported the circumcised and the bearded group despite the fact that their Afghani cousins blew up some of their biggest buildings. So the Jews, the Christians and the uncircumcised hordes across the border formed a clique to help the bismillahwalahs and the jamaatis to win the election. Those jerks think that the clique comprised the following: a. Four Party alliance b. CEC c. Caretaker (Latif) government d. and the president, the cheeky Hitler.
8. CJ Latif took all measures to hide the cat in his pocket. But there are always some thick around who do not understand God's intentions or the power of God's surrogate, money. They do not care if people are circumcised or not; do not understand tricky bearded circumcised bastards. What can be done with them? Pack them off to Allah. Send them for a spiritual
hajj. Latif' protocol officer Ayesha Afsari was one of those dumb idiots. She was offered big chunk of money, a plot in Baridhara. Still that foolish lady wasn't enlightened to appreciate Allah's ways. Worse enough her husband was as dumb as she was. Latif and his associates tried to manage them. But they were content in their mutual dumbness. So what Latif can do? They refused God's offer. So Latif let the bearded and the circumcised politicos to arrange for their spiritual honeymoon. Their souls were sent for the journey of no return leaving their imbecile bodies behind in their apartment. After that murder, as he believes in retribution by the spirits, Latif reinforced security in his residence so that the murdered apparitions of Ayesha Afsari and her husband can never haunt him down.
9. Despite all of Latif's grand contributions to the great nation the bearded and the circumcised, the people of his home-town, Jessore, branded him as "unexpected".

Chief Justice Shabuddin Ahmed

Besides being the chief justice, Shahabuddin Ahmed cleverly ran the president's
office, first as the acting president in 1991, and later as the elected president in 1996-2001, for two
consecutive terms.
It would be relevant to point out here that during the liberation war not
a single justice from the high court either joined or supported the provisional
government and none of them were reported to have executed by the Pakistani
occupation army. After independence there were always some justices who helped legitimize the military dictators following
their bloody military coups.
1. In 1981, the wives of 13 former freedom fighter army officers,
penalized with death sentences in Zia murder case by a special military
tribunal, submitted a writ petition in the high court against their
husbands' unfair conviction by the so-called tribunal. A special bench headed by justice
Faisul Chowdhury and justice Latifur Rahman administeres a verdict on 7 September
1981 that the writ petition is outside their jurisdiction. Then the hapless wives
of those freedom fighter officers appealed against that verdict in the supreme court and the
supreme court allowed them a hearing. The members of that appeal bench were-
Justice Kamaluddin Hossain, Justice Ruhul Islam, Justice Badrul Haider
Chowdhury and Justice Shahabuddin. On September 22, following a brief
hearing of the case, Justice Badrul Haider Chowdhury administered a verdict dismissing the appeal lodged by the wives of the
unfairly convicted army officers.
Justice Shahabuddin endorsed Justice Chowdhury's verdict in writing. The point needs mention here is that before the
appeal bench under Shahabuddin was formed, a judiciary
committee was formed for investigation of the murder of general Zia case. The members of the investigation committee were: Justice Ruhul
Amin, Justice ATM Afzal and the session judge of Khulna Syed Serajuddin Ahmed.
Although the committee submitted the report in time, it was never made public.
This judicial farce took place under the auspices of General Ershad who succeeded General Zia and carried out all of Zia's unfinished tasks. Like
Zia, his top priority was systematic elimination of the pro-liberation
forces in all spheres of society and nip in the bud the spirit of liberation war. Regrettably most of the members of the Judiciary,
dominated mostly by the dupes of Jinnah's absurd ideology and the former members of Islamic Brotherhood founded by famous Muslim novelist
Abul Mansur Ahmed and the
Muslim intelligentsia from the same camp. Ershad had General Manjur, the leader of the coup, killed in Chittagong cantonment and put the blame on 13 freedom fighter officers to put the blame of Zia's murder on them as well as to use this incident as pretext for elimination
of the remaining freedom fighter officers in the defense forces. Many
believe that Ershad
deliberately killed all the officers associated with the murder of Zia to eliminate all witnesses against his involvement in the
coup.
Justice Shahabuddin stretched his unconditional support to dictator Ershad in his mission to secure his post as the CMLA and then as the president of Bangladesh.
Shahabuddin, very cunningly disguised under his Hitlarian
moustache, exploited the complex machinery of the judicial
system to perpetuate Ershad's dictatorship and, after his fall, to save him
from the grudges of the masses. Shahabuddin used his judicial authority to penalize
and then execute a group of brave and honest army officers who took up arms
to stop a vile military dictator
who led the counter revolution in Bangladesh killing, directly or indirectly, the key political leaders of our liberation war.
So Shahabuddin did not go unrewarded for his great judicial support to the despised dictator general
Ershad. Within a few years of his taking over the political power, general Ershad offered Shahabuddin the post, despite his administrative, non judicial,
background of the chief justice.
Shahabuddin is said to have helped dictator Ershad legitimize his dictatorship. Few months after his
usurpation to the power Ershad gave some tediously long TV speeches in which he insanely quoted from the
legal references of late justice Abdur Rahman
Chowdhury. Shahabuddin said to have helped Ershad, from behind the screen, by compiling Chowdhury's
long and complex legal
commentaries and making it presentable for TV speech.
Shahabuddin was a complicit to all of Ershad's political crimes. Their bondage was ideological (or may be economic). They stood for each other. Ershad promoted him: picked him up from the civil service, made him the chief justice despite his not having a degree in law. What an amity between a shameless opportunist and a
sloppy Islamic chauvinist. He did not hesitate to pass verdict to hang 13 freedom fighter officers to secure and perpetuate Ershad's power.
After the Fall of Ershad when all the spring bees deserted him Shahabuddin,
armed with his Hitlarian moustache, stood beside him. One may ask when Ershad was kicked out by the peoples'
insurgence then, instead of sending him to the prison on numerous charges of corruption and abuse of power why Shahabuddin detained him in a luxurious house in the aristocratic area of the city and
conferred him VIP status? The dwarfish Bangladeshi Hitler was actually paying his dues back. The life and career of this monstrous judge was blossomed by the
blessing of this monstrous dictator: Ershad made him the chief justice and
by extension the president. This is what the Islamic political philosophy is able to create:
the
sycophants and the spineless demons.
Shahabuddin is such a gifted actor that even the senior members of Awami league
such as Gaffar Chowdhury assumed Shahabuddin to be a quite Awami leaguer.
Not only that Gaffar Chowdhury was so confident about Shahabuddin's secularist stance that he even wrote articles
elating Shahabuddin's role in the process of democratization of the army
dominated Bangladesh. Shahabuddin, the arch hypocrite, was able to
dupe the Bangalees with his acting skills despite being an unenlightened bureaucrat with such a
remarkably uncouth demeanor. In last five years Shahabuddin never pronounced
the national slogan for our liberation war and the independence of
Bangladesh: Joy (means victory in Bangla) Bangla. As the president of Bangladesh he was supposed to read out
his official speech written out for him by the ruling party and approved by the ministry.
But during the Awami League government, contrary to all
parliamentary protocols, Shahabuddin always revised and changed his
presidential speech.
Now let us have a look at the dramatic situation affording Shahabuddin an opportunity, thanks to his great skills for projecting his
innocent image despite his
Hitlarian authoritative moustache, to be the president of Bangladesh and his subtle strategies to realize his long cherished political ideal of creating an Islamic Bangladesh. In 1990, the
insurgence of the urban masses brought about the demise of Ershad's dictatorial rules. Ershad was confined in his CNC residence. To escape public grudges his vice president (now a minister of BNP government) also resigned and took shelter in the Operations office of the 2nd EBR of Dhaka cantonment begging the young lieutenants/captains to
save him from the grudge of the angry mobs. Resignation of vice president Maudud resulted in a legal bottle neck for power transfer. To overcome this bottleneck all
three major political alliances agreed to accept the chief justice Shahabuddin as the vice president and hence Shahabuddin took oath as the vice president without resigning from his post of the chief justice. But the constitution of
Bangladesh leaves no room for holding two posts
by the same person in two separate departments, i.e. executive and judiciary. But the demand of the
fiery political situation forced the politicians overlook this
constitutional anomaly. Seeing the political leaders stuck in the bottleneck shrewd Shahabuddin imposed his condition for smooth
transference of power: that after the election he has to be allowed to return to
his previous post of the chief justice. The simple minded Bangalees applauded Shahabuddin's
modesty and his apparent simplicity. No body realized how cunningly this apparent plain man has been hiding his political malice. His return to his former post of the chief justice was not endorsed by the constitution. But later in order to accommodate his interest the
constitution was amended at BNP's initiative.
In 1996 Awami League formed government following its victory in the election conducted under the authority of the
caretaker government headed by Justice Habibur Rahman. Most possibly Justice Habibur Rahman is the only justice unaffected by the
poison tree planted by goddamn Jinnah. He was the only justice who officially promoted Rabindric
cultural trends. Tagore's music and literature is the most effective antidote against all forms of
religious bigotry and intolerance. However, as the Awami League formed the government, BNP nominated president Abdur Rahman
Biswas, a leading Muslim
leaguer and a notorious collaborator of the Pakistani occupation army, finished his term. Awami league then tried to nominate an acceptable person as the president and proposed justice Shahabuddin's (how short sighted the Awami leadership was) name. Surprisingly, BNP opposed Awami nomination of Shahabuddin as the president.
But after the recent election (2001) Shahabuddin, in his presidential speech, read out the
whole speech prepared by the ministry of Khaleda and Shahabuddin finished his
speech mimicking the Pakistani military dictators i.e. saying Bangladesh
Jindabad (an Urdu word meaning victory). Not only that contrary to the fact and history of Bangladesh,
Shahabuddin, in his inaugural speech for the opening session of the 8th national parliament,
referred to Zia as the declarer of the independence of Bangladesh. How a man, a president and chief justice by profession, with such status
can express his own opinion in his official speech ignoring the most crucial phase of the constitutionally upheld history of Bangladesh. Paragraph 151 of Bangladesh
constitution holds the " Declaration of Independence" clause which clearly states that "on 26 March 1971, the great leader of Bangladesh Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared the independence of Bangladesh".
The election of 2001, as the political observers see it, was the outcome of a conspiracy among
four mutually interested and ideologically adherent individuals, groups and institutions: the four party
alliances (Islamic fundamentalists and neo Muslim leaguers), Latif's caretaker government, CEC Abu Said and president Shahabuddin. Reportedly as per the blueprint of BNP and
Jamat, the head of the caretaker government, Latif, on the one hand, reshuffled the
administration, primarily the police and civil administration in district levels and Shahabuddin, as head of the executive,
on the other, ordered the army to follow the command of the district commissioners
(DCs) and the
police superintendents (SPs). Thus at district level, instructed by the DCs and
SPs, the military has barred the Bangalee Hindus and the pro Awami leaguers from
going to the vote centers confirming victory for Islamic fundamentalist alliances
