Mobile courts under executive magistrates challenged
A real estate businessman filed a writ petition with the High Court challenging operation of mobile courts by executive magistrates.
Kamruzaman Khan, convicted by a mobile court, filed the petition on October 11 saying the rules of Mobile Court Act 2009, empowering executive magistrates to exercise judicial powers through mobile courts, are illegal and unconstitutional.
He was convicted on September 14 and sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment by a mobile court led by Rajuk's Executive Magistrate Shahidul Islam for violating the building construction act.
He prayed that his conviction be declared illegal.
