Suchitra Sen\\\'s home can be recovered
Sunday, 4 May 2014
The Appellate Division has dismissed a plea by an organisation to retain possession of the ancestral Pabna home of legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen. A bench headed by Supreme Court Justice SK Sinha issued the order on Sunday. This order clears all legal hurdles that existed in recovering Suchitra’s home. This order means there is now no legal bar to evict ‘Imam Ghazali Institute’ from Suchitra’s Pabna home, said Additional Attorney General Murad Reza. “There is no hurdle in setting up an archive of Suchitra Sen and conserve her ancestral home,” he said. The institute moved the Appellate Division against a High Court (HC) order. The HC in August 2011 ordered the institute to vacate the house following a petition filed by Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh, an NGO. The Imam Ghazali Institute also filed a petition to stop eviction which was rejected by the High Court. It filed an appeal against the order to the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division dismissed both the pleas today, according to bdnews24.com.
