A Dhaka court yesterday adjourned the judicial inquiry of a defamation case filed against Awami League (AL) Chief Sheikh Hasina until March 15 as BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Tarique Rahman could not appear before it yesterday.
Metropolitan Magistrate ABM Abdul Fattah passed the order following a time petition by the defence lawyers on behalf of the complainant.
On December 19 last year, Tarique filed the case with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court against Hasina accusing her of conducting ‘malicious campaign’ against him.
After hearing the petitioner, the court ordered judicial inquiry into the case without taking the matter into direct cognisance.
In the complaint, Tarique said Hasina on November 3 told a public meeting at Paltan Maidan that he (Tarique) drove a Tk 2 crore car, wore suit worth lakh taka and squandered thousands of crore taka in gambling abroad.
The petitioner said the news, which contained Hasina’s remark and got wide coverage in the media, was false and baseless and aimed to dent his political image.
