HC declares Kollol publisher of Amader Shomoy
The High Court (HC) yesterday upheld a Dhaka district magistrate's decision that declared Advocate SM Baksh Kollol as publisher of the daily Amader Shomoy.
The court delivered the verdict after rejecting a writ petition filed by Nayeemul Islam Khan, former editor and publisher of the daily, challenging the legality of the district magistrate's order on September 28 last year.
Following the writ petition, the HC earlier on January 16 stayed the district magistrate's order and also issued a rule upon Kollol and the government authorities concerned to explain why the order should not be declared illegal.
An HC bench delivered the verdict yesterday.
