It is to be noted that during Mughal Empire the East India Company by taking settlement and with permission from Mughal Badshah created the three presidency towns namely Madras, Bombay and Calcutta and said East India Company introduced the English legal system for administration of the presidency towns and thus the English Judicial system got entry into the territory of Indian Sub-continent. The filing of the appeals from the then India in the Privy-Council in England was introduced by the said Charter of 1726 and thereafter to bring about change in the management of the then East India Company, the East India Company Regulating Act, 1773 was introduced to place the East India Company under the control of the British Government and provision was made for establishment of a Supreme Court of judicature at Fort William, Calcutta, through Charter or Letters Patent. The Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William in Bangal was established by Letters Patent issued on March 26, 1774, which as a Court of Record had power and authority to dispose of all complaints against the Majesty's subjects in respect of any crime, suit or action arisen within the territory of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. By an Act passed in 1833 the Privy-Council was transformed into an Imperial Court of unimpeachable authority, which played a great role as an unifying force for establishment of rule of law in the Indian Sub-continent.

The process by which judges are appointed in the judiciary is an important factor to safeguard judicial independence. In establishing rule-based government, an independent judiciary plays a substantial role. In Bangladesh, following the Masdar Hossain case, the subordinate judiciary was formally separated from the executive in 2007. However, the process of appointment of judges in the Supreme Court of Bangladesh still rests in the hands of the executive. 

According to Article 95(1) of the Constitution of Bangladesh, the President can appoint the Chief Justice. The High Court Division (HCD) and the Appellate Division (AD) judges are appointed by the President in consultation with the Chief Justice. 

Nevertheless, the President, under Article 48(3) of the Constitution, has to act in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister except when appointing the Chief Justice. This ultimately vests a significant portion of the power of appointing justices in the hands of the cabinet. Hence, to ensure that the process of appointing judges does not rely on the hands of the executive, a Supreme Judicial Council could be formed like the one during the regime of the caretaker government in 2007-09.
