Pakistani's bail cancelled in heroin haul case

COURT CORRESPONDENT
A court yesterday rejected the bail order of a Pakistani national accused in the sensational 24-kilogram heroin haul case, just two days after he was granted bail.
Judge Mohammad Matiur Rahman of Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court also transferred the case to another Sessions Judge's Court, sparking sensation among lawyers and litigants on the court premises.

lawyer appealed twice to Judge Matiur Rahman to transfer the case to another court from the Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court and was rejected. The judge, however, took up the case on June 9 following a petition for transferring the case.
Matiur bailed AlekJan, the Pakistani citizen, on Monday upon a bond of Tk 3 lakh in cash with two guarantors -- the first secretary of Pakistan High Commission and a lawyer, who is conducting the case.
"I've cancelled the bail order as the bail bond on behalf of the accused was not furnished and the bond in cash was not deposited as per the court order," said Matiur in the cancellation order.
However, Advocate Atiur Rahman, lawyer of Alekjan, filed another bail petition yesterday with another Sessions Judge's Court. In the petition he said Judge in an open court pronounced the bail order at 4:30pm, but he (Atiur) could not
furnish the bail bond even waiting until 5:00pm the same day as he could not receive the order.
"The cancellation order is not legal as the metropolitan sessions judge remained busy in jail killing case yesterday and on Tuesday," he said.
On Tuesday, the lawyer appealed to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court seeking permission to deposit the cash security, but the judge did not give him permission for his engagement in the jail killing case.
A senior lawyer seeking anonymity said there is no precedence of granting bail to any accused in heroin haul case of this gravity.
Directorate of Narcotics Control arrested three Pakistani nationals -Ibrahim, Rais Khan and Alekjan -from a room of hotel Rajmoni Isha Khan in the city with 24-kilogram heroin on September 20, 1999.
The investigation officer pressed charges against Alekjan and seven others on November 24,2000.
