Constitutional legality

In spite of the existence of interim administrations in the 1975–1978 ( Sayem ministry) and 1990–1991 ( Shahabuddin Ahmed ministry) periods of Bangladeshi political history, there were significant concerns regarding the legality of an interim government, considering that the

does not allow for it to exist. The Constitution also forbids ouster clauses, following the doctrine of basic constitutional structure. The only form of interim government that has been constitutional in the past under the country's law was the Caretaker government system introduced in 1996 through the 13th Amendment but this was overturned by the Awami League regime in 2011 through the 15th Amendment, which repealed the former. However, with Awami League President and former

of the Yunus government. The court took the line that Hasina's resignation created a situation for which there was no constitutional remedy, as the Bangladeshi legal system can no longer account for transfers of power. In essence, the court upheld what essentially amounts to the wording of the 13th Amendment prior to its suspension: “The Appellate Division opined that in accordance with Article 106 of the Constitution, an interim government can be formed with a chief advisor and a few other advisors in the absence of parliament” as per Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan. Hassan himself a staunch supporter of the ousted Awami League, has since resigned as Chief Justice. Hence, despite the lack of constitutional legality for an interim government, due to extremely broad popular support and the need to ensure that a
