Shibli was appointed additional judge of the High Court Division in 2015 along with nine others.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as bangladeshi judge. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q131322100. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015, 2017 and 2024.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
