Law, justice and parliamentary affairs minister Anisul Huq on Sunday said that all steps would be taken to dispose of quickly the cases pending before money loan courts to rein in loan default.
鈥楾hree more money loan courts will be established in the capital apart from the four existing ones. Two more money loan courts will be established in Chattogram as well. Numbers of money loan courts would be increased if necessary,鈥� he said.
The minister said these while talking to newsmen after inaugurating 16th orientation course for Joint District and Sessions Judge and equivalent officials at the Judicial Administration Training Institute in the capital.
Anisul Huq said that the government wanted to bring down the amount of defaulted loans to keep the spree of development going. The minister advised the judges to follow alternative dispute resolution to dispose of loan default cases quickly and emphasised stopping unreasonable delay by the defendant at the trial stage.
He also stressed the need for ensuring accountability in approving loans by banks or other financial institutions and the responsibility of defendants in collecting the debts.
Presided over by JATI acting director general Sheikh Ashfakur Rahman, the function was also addressed by Law and Justice Division secretary Md Golam Sarwar, among others.
