Khaleda's Cantt House
HC asks govt to submit records on lease
The High Court (HC) yesterday directed the government to produce all the records regarding the lease of cantonment residence of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to this court by September 27.
An HC bench passed the order following a petition filed by Khaleda Zia seeking its direction on the government to produce the relevant papers and documents on the lease and registration of the cantonment house.
The HC bench of Justice Nazmun Ara Sultana and Justice Sheikh Hasan Arif also adjourned till September 27 the hearing on the writ petition filed by Khaleda Zia challenging the legality of a government notice to vacate her cantonment house.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam yesterday told The Daily Star that the military estate officials concerned of the cantonment will produce the records of the lease of the cantonment house, in which Khaleda Zia is living, before the court.
Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon, a lawyer for Khaleda Zia, said his client has filed the petition for producing the records of the cantonment house to prove that the lease of the house for her was legal.
The high court stayed the government notice asking Khaleda to vacate the cantonment house on May 27 last year and issued a rule upon the government to explain why its notice should not be declared illegal.
Advocate TH Khan and Barrister Moudud Ahmed appeared for Khaleda Zia.
