Faridpur judge court is located at the heart of the city. According to a few staff, the court building was built during 1885/1886 (but actually established in 1889 by the British rulers) to provide justice for local people. It is also known as Zilla judge court. This medium sized court building is an attractive one because of its architecture, although a simple structure.
Inside the court building it has several court rooms. During my visit one room was empty, I think it was the break time, and others were being conducted by the judges. I’m not sure whether it’s permitted or not to climb the second floor of the court building. But I showed some courage to go to the top floor. Apart from the court rooms, others were occupied by the staff of the judge court who were doing typing, or busy with handling public people.
The court building has a foot over bridge that connects to another building at the other side of the road. That building is known as Advocate’s Library, where the advocates use to talk to their clients, or do some study about their cases. That room had a hell lot of crowds. Many men had many problems, and everyone needed a solution.
Today morning, I went to the Madhukhali thana of the district to visit a few places. I didn’t have that much time last afternoon to explore the main edifices from the town. So I decided to explore the town today again, and hence I ended up there.
I hired a rickshaw and it took 15 Taka to take me to the Zilla Judge Court. This was around 15 minutes away from the old bus stoppage of the town. Also for your information, one of the best hotels from the town, The Rafel’s Inn is located near the Old bus stand. I stayed there during my tour.
