HC orders to dispose of case against Destiny officials by Apr 18
DHAKA, July 15, 2018 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today ordered the trial
court concerned to dispose of case against officials of Destiny-2000 Ltd,
including its managing director Rafikul Amin, by April 18, 2019.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice Md. Nazrul Islam Talukder
and Justice Dr. K. M. Hafizul Alam passed the order today.
“Following a plea of Anti-Corruption Commission, the High Court on August
31, 2016, had asked the trial court to dispose of the case within a year. But
the trial on June 24 informed the Supreme Court that it would need at least a
year more to dispose of the case as there are 219 witnesses in the case. So
the court today set a new date,” deputy attorney general AKM Amin Uddin Manik
said.
The ACC had filed the case on July 31, 2012.
