The notification stated that the appointment of Mohammad Tajul Islam as chief prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal has been cancelled.
Advocate Md Aminul Islam has been appointed as chief prosecutor until further orders to conduct cases on behalf of the tribunal.

Tajul Islam, a Supreme Court lawyer, had been appointed chief prosecutor of the tribunal on 5 September 2024 by the then interim government.
