It is so important to separate the two.
I can answer that!

Article 95 sets out the procedure for how Judges are appointed in Bangladesh:

"95.(1) The Chief Justice shall be appointed by the President, and the other Judges shall be appointed by the President after consultation with the Chief Justice.

(2) A person shall not be qualified for appointment as a Judge unless he is a citizen of Bangladesh and -

(a) has, for not less than ten years, been an advocate of the Supreme Court; or
(b) has, for not less than ten years, held judicial office in the territory of Bangladesh; or
(c) has such qualifications as may be prescribed by law for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court

And, as our Presidents come from the ruling party, there is no true separation of powers at all.
