Implementing Legislation A Priory Assertion to Rule of Law in Bangladesh

The constitution of Bangladesh contains a plethora of laws to maintain peace and security in the society through establishing the rule of law. The judiciary of the country is independent since 2007 but to some extent, the judiciary is being controlled by executive authorities. Therefore, a legislative procedure does not stop once a bill becomes law but the role of legislators comes to an end in the context of Bangladesh in many ways, although law must be put into effect or implemented by law enforcement authorities. Not surprisingly, Bangladesh has a praiseworthy legislative body and the legal system is designed by following the British legal system. But there is no such body or specific mechanism to monitor the ways of implementing legislation, the reason behind this may be administrative weakness or absence of a permanent mechanism for the same. In most cases, there is law but an absence of rule of law. The paper will endeavor to assess the procedure of enforcing and implementing legislation. In the light of the present legal system, administrative procedure, and the role of law enforcing agencies will be discussed. In the second wave, the paper will analyze the approximate reasons behind the failure of proper enforcement and implementation of laws. Finally, it will critically evaluate the needs of a particular monitoring mechanism as well as possible reformation strategies to implement legislation, their adequacy, and the role of parliament with the citizen of the country to abolish the culture of impunity to establish rule of law.
