In a significant judicial development originating from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Justice Md. Habibul Gani has been elevated from the High Court Division to serve as a judge on the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court. The official appointment was formalized and announced through a gazette notification issued by the Law and Judicial Division of the Ministry of Law on Thursday, August 27, 2026, marking a notable update in the nation's highest judiciary.

With the implementation of this latest appointment by the President, the total number of sitting judges serving on the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will officially rise to five.

The administrative process for his assumption of office has already been scheduled by the court administration. According to Md. Shafiqul Islam, the Chief Justice will administer the oath of office to the newly appointed Appellate Division judge coming up this Sunday at 9:30 AM.
