Assault on Judge

HC summons Narsingdi cops

3 suspended

Staff Correspondent
The High Court yesterday summoned superintendent of Narsingdi police and the officers-in-charge (OCs) of its Sadar Police Station and Detective Branch in connection with the assault on a judge by police.
The court directed the
cops to appear before it on June 20 to explain their conduct in the incident.
The directive came in response to a writ petition filed following newspaper reports yesterday on the assault.
According to the reports, some police personnel assaulted Md Imman Ali Sheikh, a joint district and sessions judge in Narsingdi, with a helmet on the court premises on Sunday while he was going to his workplace.
The HC bench of Justice Farid Ahmed and Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif also issued a rule asking the government and the police officials concerned to explain within two weeks why appropriate action should not be taken against the police personnel respon-sible for assaulting the judge.
The court issued the rule after hearing the writ petition filed by Mohiuddin
Shamim, a Supreme Court lawyer, as a public interest litigation seeking its directives to the government to take action against the responsible policemen.
KM Saifuddin argued for the petitioner, while Deputy Attorney General Motaher Hossain Saju represented the government.
Meanwhile, the law ministry yesterday formed a one-member committee with its joint secretary (administration) Abu Saleh Sheikh Md Zahirul Haque to conduct an enquiry into the incident.
A press release of the ministry said the committee has been asked to submit its report to the secretary of Law and Justice Division within 10 days.
