Dhaka, March 18 -- A judge of a High Court bench felt embarrassed on Monday to hold hearing of a writ petition that challenged the legality of four sections of the Supreme Court Judge Appointment Ordinance, 2025.

Justice AKM Asaduzzaman, presiding judge of the bench, refused to hold the hearing as he is a member of the Supreme Judicial Council, which has been established under the ordinance.The bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain also said it will send the petition to the chief justice for a decision.

Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed will now assign a bench for hearing and disposing of the matter, writ petitioner's lawyer Advocate Md Ajmol Hossain Khokon told The Daily Star.
