Show cause notice on 5 Dhaka Bar members
Dhaka Bar Association (DBA) on Thursday issued a show cause notice upon its five members to explain within seven days why their advocateship certificates would not be cancelled in connection with ransacking of its general secretary's office room on September 13.
The lawyers are former DBA president Mohammad Sanaullah Miah, former general secretary Khorshed Alam, Advocates Masud Ahmed Talukder, Abu Yusuf Sarkar and Nuruzzaman.
Two factions of Dhaka unit Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum -- one led by Sanaullah Miah and the other by Iqbal Hossain -- engaged in a scuffle over space at a doa mahfil in memory of advocate MU Ahmed in the auditorium of Dhaka Bar Association on September 13.
A group of lawyers including the five, also ransacked Iqbal's office room and threatened him with life, said DBA Senior Assistant General Secretary AKM Amin Uddin Manik.
Manik yesterday told The Daily Star that they held an emergency meeting after the incidents and decided to issue show cause notice upon the lawyers.
When asked Sanaullah, Khorshed and Masud denied the allegation saying that they would formally make comments after receipt of the show cause notices.
