The High Court on Wednesday summoned ruling Awami League lawmaker Aslamul Haque to appear before it on May 16 to explain his role over occupying a four-bigha land of Mirpur Government Bangla College in the capital.
In response to a writ petition, the court directed the deputy commissioner of Dhaka to conduct a survey over the land through forming an expert committee and to submit a report along with relevant papers before it by May 16.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim passed the order following the writ petition filed by advocate Manzill Murshid on behalf of Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh.
Murshid filed the petition on the basis of a report published in Bangla daily Bangladesh Protidin on May 5 stating that the possession of four bighas of land of the college is under Aslam’s deed.
The HC also issued a rule upon the government to explain in two weeks why its failure to protect the land should not be declared illegal.
In the rule, the court asked the government to explain why it should not be directed to recover the land from the possession of Aslam, the lawmaker from Dhaka-4 constituency.
