The SCBA committee should have extended assistance to the judicial inquiry commission formed by the government, he added.

Moudud said the government has achieved tremendous success in its legal reform programmes.

"Some 5,911 cases have been disposed of under the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) of the Civil Procedure of Code (CPC). The government is also considering launching the ADR to dispose of cases under the Criminal Procedure of Code (CrPC)," he added.

The minister said the government has realised Tk 1760.38 crore out of the total Tk 8818.40 crore from the loan defaulters by disposing of 18,207 cases under the Orthorin Ain (finance debt act) in last 22 months.

Law Secretary Alauddin Sarder, Additional Secretary Habibul Awal and senior officials were present.
