FE REPORT | Thursday, 1 February 2024
The High Court on Wednesday directed the owner of Nur Engineering Workshop at Kamalpur in Bhairab upazila of Kishoreganj district to pay Tk3 million as compensation to a 13-year-old child who lost his right arm while doing a risky job in the workshop.
The boy, Naim Hasan Nahid, a seventh grader, was engaged in operating a heavy auto drill machine during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
The court asked workshop owner Yakub Hossain to pay the compensation amount in two installments, Tk1.5 million in April and Tk1.5 million in December 2024, through the Nahid's bank account with Al Arafa Islami Bank's Jatrabari branch in the capital.
Yakub was ordered to deposit the money through two separate Fixed Deposit Receipts (FDRs) in Nahid's account.
The HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Kazi Zinat Hoque issued the directive after disposing of a writ petition.
