Chief Justice M Ruhul Amin Saturday paid rich tributes to late veteran lawyer M Ozair Farooq and said his death has caused an irreparable loss to the judiciary of the country. The Chief Justice said this while addressing a meeting arranged to condole the death of the former president of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) at its hall room.

"Farooq was completely a professional man. Whatever might be the result of a case he fought for, he was always careful of the code of court conduct. Newcomers should follow in his footsteps," he said. Former SCBA president Ozair Farooq, a senior advocate of the Supreme Court, died of cardiac arrest on Sunday.

The meeting, organised by NLF Lawyers' Solidarity Association, a welfare body of the lawyers of Noakhali, Laxmipur and Feni, was addressed, among others, by former SCBA president Mahbubey Alam, Bar Council leader Yusuf Hossain Humayun, Subrata Chowdhury, Humayun Hossain Khan, KM Saifuddin, Shahara Khatun, Bashir Ahmed and Azhar Ullah Bhuiyan. Association president ATM Taher Ullah presided. The meeting was followed by a milad mahfil.
