Dhaka, June 9 -- The Supreme Court's Appellate Division has scheduled June 16 for the hearing of the state's appeal against a High Court verdict that ordered the establishment of an independent secretariat for the Supreme Court.

The Appellate Division has also decided to keep the High Court verdict suspended until the appeal is disposed of.

The four-member bench led by Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury fixed the date for the hearing on Tuesday, bdnews24.com reports.

Although the interim government established the secretariat through an ordinance, the BNP government repealed the measure after assuming office.
