Three firms of Geeteara, husband charged with illegal occupation

Saturday, 12 January 2008


Three cases were filed Thursday against three firms owned by former caretaker adviser Geeteara Safiya Chowdhury and her husband Nazim Kamran Chowdhury and a security firm on charges of illegal occupation, reports bdnews24.com.
The allegations are that the firms owned by the couple and the Group 4 Securities refused to vacate rented premises even though the rental agreement had expired.
House owner Dr Mahbubul Islam and wife Farhana Islam filed the cases with the Dhaka District and Sessions Judge's Court.
District judge AKM Ishtiaq Hossain took the cases into cognizance and summoned the accused persons to court.
One case has been filed against Adcomm Ltd owned by Geeteara and Group 4 Securities owned by Salim Chowdhury. The second case names Megavision and Signage, both owned by Nazim Kamran. The third case names Group 4 Securities alone. The complainants said the owners of Adcomm, Megavision and Signage rented premises at house no 7/A, on road No. 41 in Gulshan-2 on October 1, 2002, but they did not vacate the house even though the rental agreement ended on September 30, 2007.
They alleged that Geeteara misused her power as an adviser to aid her husband to continue to occupy the premises in violation of the agreement. Group 4 Securities also had been abetting in the illegal act.
The complainants alleged when they moved to get the accused persons out of the premises, they had physically harassed them.
They mentioned that a criminal case involving that incident was pending with a court.
