In 2003, Khandoker Musa Khaled and three other judges (AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, Mohammad Bazlur Rahman, and Mohammed Nizamul Huq) of the nine judges appointed by the Awami League government in 2001 were not made permanent judges of the High Court Division by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party government.[1] Justices Mohammad Anwarul Haque, Mirza Hussain Haider, Nazrul Islam Chowdhury, Sheikh Rezowan Ali, and Syed Mohammad Dastagir Husain of the nine were confirmed as permanent judges of the High Court Division.[1]
In 2009, Haque and Justice Kamrul Islam Siddiqui refused to hear a petition related to cantonment residence of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia as they had handled documents related to the property.[2] In February 2011, Haque and Justice Syed Abu Kowser Md Dabirush-shan gave a split verdict on a petition challenging the legality of the 1974 agreement regarding prisoner of war from the Bangladesh Liberation War signed by Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.[3] Haque dismissed the petition while Syed Abu Kowser Md Dabirush-shan sought an explanation from the government on why the treaty should not be declared illegal.[3]
