Cantonment House
No confidence in judges a bid to hide failure
Says attorney general
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam yesterday said that Khaleda Zia's counsel Moudud Ahmed initiated a petition expressing “no confidence” in the Supreme Court judges, to conceal their failure of protecting the cantonment residence.
He told reporters at his office yesterday afternoon that Moudud Ahmed did not place such petition to the apex court on November 29 when the court dismissed Khaleda Zia's petitions over the house.
Moudud's Wednesday's statement claiming that the SC did not allow them to submit the petition is misleading and confusing, he said.
Meanwhile, Khaleda's lawyer Mahbubuddin Khokon told reporters that the attorney general's statement is "untrue," since they submitted the petition expressing their client's “no confidence” to the SC's Registrar's office on November 28.
The petition was placed to the SC on November 29, he said, adding that the people of the country don't want to hear "untrue statement" from the attorney general.
Meanwhile, ruling Awami League faction of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) at a press conference said yesterday that Moudud Ahmed has made the apex court judges controversial by making false statement over his filing the no confidence petition.
The lawyers at the briefing at the north hall of SCBA condemned and protested Moudud's statement.
SCBA Assistant Secretary Moshfaqur Rahman Sabuj in a written statement said Khaleda Zia could not understand that her lawyers willfully lost in the case over the cantonment residence in order to run anti government movement.
SCBA Vice President AKM Fazlul Haque Khan Farid and Treasurer Nuruzzaman Hiru, among others, were present.
