News - HC issues contempt rule on Jamuna Builders managing director

Dhaka, Feb 8 (UNB) - The High Court on Monday, upon a Rajuk petition, issued a contempt of court rule upon M Shamim Islam, managing director of Jamuna Builders Ltd., to explain in 10 days why proceedings should not be drawn against him for “misquoting and distorting the High Court orders.”

Passing the contempt rule, a division bench comprising Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Justice Borhan Uddin asked the contemner, Shamim Islam, to appear in person before the court on February 22 for giving his explanations as asked for.

The HC orders came following a petition filed by Nurul Huda, chairman of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk).

Earlier, on Sunday, the contempt petition was filed with the HC against the managing director of Jamuna Builders Ltd for distorting and misquoting its order in two separate appeals submitted to the Rajuk chairman.

On February 3, the HC summarily rejected a writ petition filed by Jamuna Builders Ltd challenging the legitimacy of a Rajuk notice that had asked for dismantling within seven days the unauthorized top four floors of the 10-storey Jamuna Future Park Shopping Complex in the capital.

Advocate AFM Mesbahuddin appeared for Rajuk chairman.
