Alleged Detention of Sayedee's Witness
HC rejects petition challenging legality
The High Court yesterday rejected a writ petition which challenged the legality of the alleged detention of a defence witness of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee.
The HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar rejected the petition, considering that it was not placed before it.
Abul Kalam Azad, a friend of the defence witness Shukho Ranjan Bali, had filed the petition on November 7 stating that law enforcers abducted Ranjan from the International Crimes Tribunals' entrance on November 5.
The petitioner sought HC directives to produce Ranjan before the court to show that he was not illegally detained.
During hearing on the petition on November 11, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam opposed the petition, saying that the petitioner could not show any document to prove that Ranjan was detained.
