Lawyers warn magistrate as he refuses to pass order

Court Correspondent
Lawyers for Bidisha, the estranged wife of former president HM Ershad, yesterday insisted on a magistrate's granting her bail in a cheating case under the bailable section, but he refused to take up the petition for hearing.
Advocate Zaliirul Islam submitted a bail petition and told the Court of Second Class Magistrate, Dhaka that his client's health has deteriorated so much so that she may die anytime. He also said the charge brought against her is bailable. under the bailable section, but he refused to take up the petition for hearing.
Advocate Zahirul Islam submitted a bail petition and told the Court of Second Class Magistrate, Dhaka that his client's health has deteriorated so much so that she may die anytime. He also said the charge brought against her is bailable.
But Second Class Magistrate Khan Mohammad Rezaun Nabi refused to take up the petition for hearing. He asked the lawyers to place the petition on June 18, as his superior Court of First Class Magistrate, Dhaka on Tuesday fixed the day for further hearing.
Angered at the court order, Bidisha's lawyers pressed the magistrate to pass an order, either granting or rejecting the bail petition.
"No judge has the right to play with the life of a justice seeker who is behind bars in a dying condition," Zahirul said.
The lawyers told the magistrate when he started writing the order that the relation between the Bar and the bench will deteriorate if he stuck to his decision.
They also told him that his attitude towards the case gives the impression that he is the complainant of the case. The magistrate will be held responsible if anything terrible happened to Bidisha in jail, they added.
The lawyers also threatened to file a case against the magistrate under the section 211 of the Bangladesh Penal Code if he does anything extrajudicial.
As the magistrate started hearing another case without delivering an order, the lawyers remained standing before him, compelling him to leave the courtroom under police guard.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bidisha's counsels moved a petition for her bail in the cheating case, saying the case aims to harass her.
"She did not hide any information or cheat on Ershad," Advocate Zahirul, one of the counsels, told the Court of First Class Magistrate, Dhaka.
