Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan of Bangladesh has agreed to resign 'in principle' following pressure from protesters demanding his departure, local media reported. Hassan, who took over the Supreme Court last year and is perceived as a supporter of ousted premier Sheikh Hasina, was urged to step down by demonstrators gathered outside the court in Dhaka.
The decision to resign comes after Hasina herself stepped down as prime minister and left the country. Student protesters in Bangladesh had given Chief Justice Hassan an ultimatum to relinquish his position, leading to his eventual announcement of resignation. The move reflects the ongoing political unrest in the nation and the impact of public pressure on key figures.
Obaidul Hassan, who has been at the helm of the Supreme Court since last year, faced mounting calls for his resignation from student leaders and protesters. His decision to step down marks a significant development in Bangladesh's judiciary system and highlights the influence of public demonstrations on the country's political landscape. The chief justice's resignation underscores the challenges faced by the government and the judiciary in addressing the demands of the people.
