Md. Ruhul Quddus
Justice Md. Ruhul Quddus is a Bangladeshi justice of the High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh.
He completed his LL.B. and M.S.S. at University of Rajshahi. A case of murder was filed against him and others in November 1988 on the charge of killing a leader of the Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Islamist political party Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, at the university.
In April 2010, the government sought to remove his name from among those accused in the murder case, and appointed him an Additional Judge to the High Court Division. In an unprecedented move, Chief Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim declined to swear him in. Four months later, Quddus was dropped from the murder case. Despite protests along party lines against Quddus' appointment, citing his "controversial past", the next Chief Justice, A.B.M. Khairul Haque, administered the oath of office to him in November.
Quddus was appointed Judge to the High Court Division in October 2012.
