Treat Faruque as ex-chair of Proshika: SC
The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a High Court observation that Qazi Faruque Ahmed, ousted chairman of Proshika, would be treated as the former chairman and former president of the organisation.
The apex court, however, said this order should not affect the hearing of the original case in the trial court regarding the organisational dispute.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division, headed by Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman, passed the order after disposing a leave-to-appeal petition filed by Qazi Faruque challenging the HC observation.
Qazi Faruque's lawyer Mustafizur Rahman Khan, however, told The Daily Star that the SC neither upheld nor cancelled the HC observation.
On May 24 last year, the present governing body of the non-governmental organisation replaced Qazi Faruque with MA Wadud as its chairman in the face of employees' agitation against Faruque for his alleged corruption and nepotism.
The same year on August 11, the HC had directed the Proshika authorities to maintain status quo regarding the organisation.
On August 26 last year, Qazi Faruque filed the leave-to-appeal petition with the SC challenging the HC observation.
