SC stays Faruque group's control of bank accounts
The Supreme Court yesterday stayed for four weeks a High Court order that had permitted Qazi Khaje Alam, chief executive of a faction of Proshika led by Qazi Faruque Ahmed, to operate all bank accounts of the organisation.
Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Nazmun Ara Sultana passed the order after hearing a petition filed by Mahbubul Karim, chief executive of the opposing faction of Proshika, seeking a stay on the HC order.
The HC on August 13 directed the associated banks to allow Khaje Alam to run the Proshika accounts till further order.
A counsel for Mahbubul said his client could now operate the bank accounts following the SC order.
A leading NGO, Proshika is riven by conflict between Faruque Ahmed and Mahbubul Karim, both claiming control of the organisation.
