Attorney General Barrister Md Ruhul Quddus Kazol today urged journalists to exercise caution to avoid creating confusion while reporting on court-related matters. He praised the expertise and self-restraint of journalists covering legal proceedings, emphasizing their understanding of what should and should not be made public. This call came during a meeting with the newly-elected committee of the Law Reporters Forum (LRF), led by President Mohammad Yasin and General Secretary Arafat Munna.

Request to Allow Journalists in Appellate Division

Referring to a request to allow journalists to remain present in the Appellate Division to cover its proceedings, the Attorney General said he had already requested the Chief Justice in this regard and would raise the matter with him again. The delegation included Vice-President Abu Saleh Roni, Joint Secretary Tanvir Ahmed, Treasurer Manjur Hossain, Organising Secretary Ahmed Al Amin, Office Secretary Mahmudul Alam, Publication Secretary Jahidul Bashar, and members Ilias Sarkar and SM Nur Mohammad.

Importance of Accurate Legal Reporting

Accurate and careful reporting on court-related matters is crucial to maintaining public trust in the judicial system. Misinformation or confusion can lead to misunderstandings about legal processes and outcomes, potentially undermining the integrity of the justice system. The Attorney General's call for caution highlights the need for journalists to balance their reporting with the sensitivity required in legal matters.
