Career
editTariq served in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971.[1]
In June 2008, Justice ABM Khairul Haque and Tariq held hearings on suo moto contempt rule against Ekramul Huq and other journalists after a magazine published a report on a High Court judge whitening black money.[3] Haque and Tariq declared Contempt of Court Ordinance, 2008 illegal due to provision allowing "constructive criticism" of judgement.[4]
In July 2008, Tariq was one of 19 judges who filed an appeal against a High Court verdict reinstating 10 judges of the High Court Division whose appointment was not confirmed by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party.[5] The ten judges were appointed by an Awami League government while 18 out of the 19 judges were appointed by a Bangladesh Nationalist Party government.[5]
In March 2010, Tariq and Justice Muhammad Imman Ali declared it illegal to try people under a repealed law following a convict who had been sentenced to death under Women and Child Repression Act, 1995 which was replaced by the Women and Child Abuse Suppression Act, 2000.[6]
Tariq was a trustee board member of The University of Comilla (UNIC).[7]
