Bangladesh
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
was
formally
formed
in
1948
and
it
made
extinct
in
1972,
after
independence
of
Bangladesh
,
as
Bangladesh
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
under
the
Bangladesh
Legal
Practitioners
and
Bar
Council
Order,
which
was
subsequently
amended
by
Legal
Practitioners
and
Bar
Council
(
Amendment
)
Act
39
of
2003.It
traces
its
roots
as
in
the
British
colony
then
Indo-Pak-
Bangladesh
Sub-Continent
High
Courts
were
established
by
the
Indian
High
Courts
Act
,
1861
passed
by
the
British
Parliament.
The
High
Court
of
Judicature
at
Calcutta
was
set
up
on
14th
May
1862.
And
Dhaka
High
court
(then
East
Pakistan
High
Court)
is
the
successor
of
the
Calcutta
High
court
vides
Indian
Independence
Act
1947.
Then
some
eminent
Lawyers
practicing
before
the
East
Pakistan
High
Court
namely
Mr.
A.K.
Fazlul
Huq,
Mr.
Prakash
Pakrashi,
Mr.
Syed
Modares
Ali
and
Mr.
Sabita
Ranjan
Pal
(
S.R.
Pal)
pioneered
to
form
an
Association
of
the
practitioner
Advocates
who
were
enrolled
to
the
new
Court.
In
the
November
1948
this
eminent
lawyers
formally
established
the
Association
with
the
object
to
provide
its
members
a
common
platform
for
conducting
their
profession
and
to
protect
their
interests
and
dignity
of
the
Bar.
Thus
the
virtual
journey
of
the
then
East
Pakistan
High
Court
Bar
Association
was
started.
The
various
resolutions
and
the
activities
of
the
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
in
the
last
preceding
years
shows
the
initiative
and
leadership
of
the
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
in
various
matters
concerning
the
Nation
and
problems
of
the
Bar.
The
Supreme
Court
Bar
Association
contributed
to
the
amendment
of
the
Supreme
court
Rules
and
procedure
and
practice
in
the
supreme
court.
The
Bar
Association
joined
the
national
movement
against
the
eclipse
of
democracy
during
the
Emergency
proclaimed
in
1975
and
1982.
The
Bar
also
raised
strong
voice
against
the
8th
Amendment
of
the
constitution
and
continued
a
movement
since
1986
against
the
dismantling
of
the
High
Court
Division
and
setting
up
permanent
Benches
of
the
High
Court
Division.
