Besides, different district courts of the country have launched their own helpline numbers on the model of Supreme Court鈥檚 helpline. By calling all those helplines, service takers are expressing their satisfaction by receiving court related services immediately.
Shafiqul Islam said that the Supreme Court helpline number was launched on September 25 last year to assist any litigants or service takers coming to the Supreme Court if they face obstacles in receiving services in any branch of the Supreme Court.
鈥楽ervice can be taken from the helpline every Sunday to Thursday from 10:00am to 4:00pm except public holidays,鈥� he added.
