SM Munir appointed additional attorney general

Supreme Court lawyer SM Munir has been appointed as additional attorney general for moving cases on behalf of the state.

With SM Munir, there are now three additional attorney generals.

President Md Abdul Hamid made the appointment under article 3(2) of the Bangladesh Law Officer Order 1972.

The solicitor wing under the law ministry issued a gazette notification to this effect today.

SM Munir was former secretary of the Supreme Court Bar Association.

A post of additional attorney general remained vacant after the president had sacked the then additional attorney general MK Rahman on May 19, 2014.
