The Rulings of the Speaker are considered to be the highest legislative judgment in the parliamentary procedures. The Rulings of the Speaker can not be challenged in Court nor is there hardly any scope for reviewing these Rulings. The Rulings of the Speaker in the parliamentary procedure can only be compared with the case law of judiciary.

As directed by the Hon'ble Speaker of the Bangladesh Parliament, Mr. Humayun Rashid Chowdhury, the Rulings of the Speakers of the National Assembly from April 1973 to December 1999 have been compiled. We firmly belief that this compilation will go a long way in the exercise of parliamentary democracy.

Compilations of Speakers’ Rulings are regularly brought out in the countries where Parliamentary Democracy is practiced. This is for the first time that Speakers’ Rulings have been compiled and published in Bangladesh. We hope this compilation will help the Hon'ble Members of the Parliament in deepening their knowledge of the Parliament’s procedures.
