Download PDF A Dhaka court will decide today whether the charge sheet of the case filed against prominent lawyers Dr Kamal Hossain, barristers Amir Ul Islam, Rokanuddin Mahmud and 10 others for vandalising on the Supreme Court (SC) premises on November 30 last year would be accepted or not.
After scrutinising the case docket (CD) and other relevant documents, the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s (CMM) Court will give decision on the issue.
Earlier on December 22 last year, Detective Branch (DB) Inspector Naimur Rahman, who is also the investigation officer (IO), pressed charges against 13 including Dr Kamal, Amir and Rokan, showing 28 people as prosecution witnesses.
The other charge sheeted defendants are former Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) secretary advocate Enayetur Rahim, former SCBA vice president advocate Subrata Chowdhury, barrister Tania Amir and advocates Sheikh Awsafur Rahman, Subrata Saha, Khairul Alam Pipul, Mohammad Khasruzzaman, Suhrawardi, Syed Mamun Mahbub and Habibur Rahman, an outsider.
Barrister Omar Sadat, son-in-law of BNP leader and former minister Shahjahan Siraj, filed the criminal case with the CMM’s Court on December 4 naming four lawyers and against 50 to 60 other unidentified lawyers and others for vandalising the offices of the chief justice and the attorney general, and also for disturbing court proceedings on November 30.
Those named in the complaint are Rokanuddin Mahmud, Enayetur Rahim, Subrata Chowdhury and Sheikh Awsafur Rahman.
In his complaint, Omar Sadat said Rokan asked the accused lawyers and outsiders to vandalise the chief justice’s chamber, courtrooms and other public property, and also to threaten the attorney general.
The vandalism on the SC premises took place after the chief justice stayed the proceedings of three writ petitions minutes before a HC bench was about to issue a rule on a writ challenging the legality of the president’s takeover as chief adviser to the caretaker government.
Leaders of the 14-party alliance and other political parties filed the writ petitions that also challenged the chief adviser’s activities and announcement of the schedule for the next general election.
