Bangladesh Army Gets Executive Magistracy Power

In Bangladesh, the interim government led by Prof. Muhammad Yunus has given the power of executive magistrate to the commissioned officers of the Bangladesh Army in order to improve law and order.

According to a gazette notification issued by the Ministry of Public Administration yesterday, the eligible army officers will be able to act as executive magistrates under the supervision of district magistrates nationwide for the next 60 days.

The army magistrates will oversee activities related to offences under Sections 64, 65, 83, 84, 86, 95(2), 100, 105, 107, 109, 110, 126, 127, 128, 130, 133 and 142 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 (CRPC), reports Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS).

Following the nationwide clashes related to the quota reform movement, the then Sheikh Hasina-led government had deployed the army and imposed a curfew across Bangladesh on the night of July 19.

Subsequently, on August 5, the government led by the Awami League was overthrown by a student-led uprising. Three days later, on August 8, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Nobel laureate economist Dr. Muhammad Yunus.

Despite the formation of the interim government, the army remains deployed across the country to maintain law and order situation as police and its other agencies were not in a position to do so.
