Abstract:
During recent visit to Upazilas, the undersigned observed that
inspection of courts of magistrates was not conducted thoroughly-
In most cases inspections were perfunctory in nature. In many cases,
they were so hasty and hurried that there was hardly any sense in
undertaking such inspections.
2. The matter was discussed in the Conference of the Divisional
Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners on 15-8-1984. It was
agreed that circulation of a set of questionnaires will facilitate
thorough inspection of courts of magistrates. Accordingly,
questionnaires, contained in the Inspection Manual have been
reviewed and amended, wherever necessary, for making them suitable
for the purpose.
3. These questionnaires and the general instructions for
inspection should be meticulously followed by District Magistrates,
Additional District Magistrates and other inspecting officers. It is
hoped that inspections conducted in accordance with the instructions
and questionnaires will gradually improve the present state of
administration of criminal justice in the country.
