Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain today said some of the Supreme Court verdicts are not being implemented properly even after initiating contempt of court proceedings, which is very "unfortunate".

All the authorities concerned of the state are constitutionally obligated to comply with the Supreme Court directives, he said.

The chief justice said this while speaking as chief guest at a meeting virtually, organised to launch two separate books on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the Liberation War written by two SC judges.

"Bangabandhu Bangladesh: Ekjon Juddhoshishur Golpo O Onyanya" has been written by Justice Obaidul Hassan, a judge of the Appellate Division of the SC.

Another book titled "Bangabandhu: Sangbidhan Ain Adalot O Onyanya" has been written by Justice M Enayetur Rahim, a judge of the High Court Division of the SC.

Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain said there is no necessity for setting up a cell to ensure the implementation of the SC judgements as all the authorities are bound to abide by the verdicts as per article 112 of the constitution.

Article 112 states, "All authorities, executive and judicial, in the Republic shall act in aid of the Supreme Court".

"We can initiate contempt of court proceedings for non-implementation of our verdict. But we are tired of doing so," he said.

"The government is the custodian of the people's properties and the court is legally bound to protect the people's properties. I hope each and every judgement of the Supreme Court will be executed properly with the assistance from the executive," Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain said.

The chief justice said this in response to a request from historian and researcher Prof Muntassir Mamoon for formation of a cell to ensure the implementation of the SC directives.
