SC upholds Razzak's bail, no-arrest orders
Wednesday, 1 April 2009
The Supreme Court (SC) Tuesday refused to reverse the High Court (HC) orders that granted Jama'at-e-Islami Assistant Secretary General Abdur Razzak anticipatory bail in the Pilkhana carnage case up to April 5 and ordered the government not to harass or arrest him up to that date, reports bdnews24.com.
The chamber judge of the Appellate Division vacation bench Justice Shah Abu Nayyim Mominur Rahman Tuesday turned down the government petition for a deferment of the HC orders issued Sunday.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam and Additional Attorney General MK Rahman argued for the government petition in the hearing.
Razzak, himself a Supreme Court lawyer, was represented by Mainul Hossain and Rafiqul Islam Mian.
Immediately after the SC orders were out, MK Rahman said, "The Appellate Division chamber judge's court has turned down the government's appeal to stay the HC order asking the government not to harass or arrest him up to April 5."
Mian said the government quizzed Razzak about the Pilkhana killings only to harass him.
Razzak said the attorney general attempted to mislead the court in the hearing.
"The attorney general alleged that I had paid heed to the CID summons as I had spoken to the BDR personnel during the February killings," he said.
