history of Bangladesh.
Justice M A Matin, Former Judge at
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and Advocate Arif Khan,
Senior Lawyer at the Supreme Court of Bangladesh and Director at Bangladesh Institute
for Constitution Studies were present as

At the beginning of the webinar Justice
Matin briefly discussed the history and transformation of Constitutional Tort
and its integration into our legal system. He also emphasized on the
development of the method to bring constitutional tort within the periphery of
constitutional law issues. Advocate Arif discussed several latest cases related
to constitutional tort and showed its gradual development in Bangladesh. He
highlighted the recent judicial activism regarding tort under the
constitutional provisions. Both the speakers admitted the pressing need for
codified tort law in our country and suggested the Law Commission of Bangladesh

Bangladesh. Lt. Col. Siraj Uddin Ahmed, psc (Retd), Chairman of Department of
