HC rejects Falu's petition for permission to go abroad

The High Court yesterday rejected a petition filed by BNP leader Mosaddak Ali Falu seeking its directive on the government not to prevent him from going to Thailand for treatment.

The court gave the order considering that the petition was not properly placed before it.

Additional Attorney General Murad Reza told the court that Falu was not on bail now in two vandalism and arson cases.

"Falu is now a fugitive from justice and therefore, he has no right to move such a petition seeking permission to go abroad", he added.
