HC summons FF Welfare Trust's MD, secy for contempt

The High Court (HC) on Monday summoned the managing director and secretary of 'Freedom Fighters' Welfare Trust' for contempt, reports UNB.

The bench of Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md Ashraful Kamal issued the order as the defendants - Md Iftekharul Islam and Sayeed Mahmood Belal Haider - did not respond to a previous rule.

Iftekharul and Haider will have to appear before the HC on January 10.

The trustee of the Freedom Fighters' Welfare Trust suspended engineer Yasir Arafat at its 41st meeting. The engineer moved the HC, which stayed his suspension order and issued a rule on July 31 this year.

But the Trust did not pay Yasir his salary.
