Tuesday, 26 October 2010
A government law official has disclosed that there is no bar on producing former state minister for Home Lutfozzaman Babar to the Chittagong court in the 10-truck arms case, reports bdnews24.com.
The Supreme Court scrapped the High Court's bar on moving Babar from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Monday.
A three-strong Appellate Division bench, headed by Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque, gave the decision in response to a government petition.
Rafique-ul-Haque argued for Babar, while Attorney General Mahbub-e-Alam and Additional Attorney General MK Rahman represented the state.
Following the order, MK Rahman said: "A Chittagong court had summoned Babar to appear for the 10-truck arms case. The High Court (HC) stayed that summons. The Appellate Division has scrapped the HC orders."
As a result of the decision "No bar remains on producing Babar at the Chittagong court due to the Appellate Division order," he said.
Earlier on October 12, the HC suspended a Chittagong court's summon for two weeks.
