Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan passes away

Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan, who was elevated to the Appellate Division from the High Court Division of the Supreme Court recently, breathed his last Friday morning at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) hospital. "He breathed his last at around 6.15 am," Supreme Court spokesperson Mohammad Saifur Rahman told BSS.

Justice Ahasan was under treatment at the hospital with Covid-19 infection and was elevated to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on January 8 along with three other judges. The other three judges were Justice Borhanuddin, Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Krishna Debnath. Though the other three judges took the oath on that day, Justice Ahasan couldn't do it due to his illness.

Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique expressed profound shock at the death of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan. He prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family. Born on February 15 in 1955, Justice Ahasan was enrolled as a lawyer of the Appellate Division December 13, 2009.

He was appointed as the Additional Judge of the High Court Division on April 18, 2010, and was appointed Judge of the same division on April 15, 2012.
