Khaleda to go for legal battle

Ashutosh Sarkar
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia will go for a legal battle against the government decision cancelling allotment of her house in Dhaka Cantonment immediately after an official notification is issued for implementing the decision.
The leader of the opposi tion in parliament will file a writ petition with the High Court (HC) challenging legality of cancellation of allotment, and her lawyers have already started working on it.
The government on Wednesday cancelled allotment of the house due to a number of anomalies regarding the allotment within the military zone'.
Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon. lawmaker and a counsel for Khaleda, said yesterday they will move the writ petition on several legal grounds.
The grounds include there is no provision for cancelling allotment of the house, no time limit of the allotment and no such condition that she cannot carry out political activities from that house, said the counsel when contacted.
The contract for allotment of the house was made between the president of Bangladesh and Khaleda Zia on July 8, 1981 during the ten ure of J us nee Abd us Sattar.
Khokon mentioned that a military estate officer signed the contract on behalf of the president, and registration of the land was completed during the rule of HM Ersnad.
He said the house was allotted to Khaleda Zia and her two sons (both minor at that time) since her husband president Ziaur Rahman, who was assassinated, rendered invaluable service to the nation and the country, and they did not have any substantial means of living.
As per provisions of the contract, the allotment can be cancelled if Khaleda Zia fails to pay Tk 1 per year as rent of the house, commercial buildings are constructed on the plot and trees on it are cut. She did not violate any of the provisions, the counsel said.
He pointed out that two houses were not allotted to her at a time as her Gulshan residence was allotted on July 17,1982.
A number of prominent lawyers including TH Khan. Rafique-Ul Huq and Moudud Ahmed will appear for Khaleda.
Meanwhile, Additional Attorney General M Enayetur Rahim said yesterday the present government has rightly cancelled allotment of the house.
The then governments allotment of two houses to Khaleda was illegal, and none has the right to allot to an individual any property earmarked for the army, he said.
Khaleda Zia has no right to do politics and business' at the cantonment house affecting army security, Rahim added.
