Suppressing info over Ruhul Amin bail

HC issues contempt rule against 2 including lawyer

The HC yesterday issued a contempt of court rule against Advocate Asheke Rasul and his representative Jahir Uddin who filed the affidavit for the bail of Ruhul Amin, the alleged instructor of a rape in Noakhali’s Subarnachar, for suppressing the fact of the incident.

The HC bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice SM Kuddus Zaman  also refused to grant bail to ex-Awami League leader Ruhul Amin in connection with the case.

In the rule, the HC bench asked Advocate Asheke Rasul and Jahir Uddin to explain in four weeks why contempt of court proceeding should not be brought against them for suppressing the fact in the bail petition filed on behalf of Ruhul Amin in connection with the case.

The HC bench came up with the rule after Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told the court that Asheke Rasul and Jahir Uddin have suppressed the fact before the court, which tantamount to the contempt of court.

Earlier, the same bench of the HC had granted one year bail to Ruhul Amin in the rape case following the same bail petition on March 18.

However, following media report over the incident, the HC bench March 23 withdrew their bail order and fixed March 27 (yesterday) for passing further order on the matter.

On December 30 last year, a mother of four was gang-raped allegedly by 10 to 12 Awami League leaders for casting ballot for “sheaf of paddy”, electoral symbol of the BNP, according to the report.

The victim's husband filed a case accusing nine with Charjabbar Police Station under Women and Children Repression Prevention Act. Ruhul, however, was not made an accused in it. Police held Ruhul four days after the incident.

Later, the husband claimed to the National Human Rights Commission that the First Information Report of the criminal case was not written by him as he is illiterate and his complaint was altered by those who wrote it for him.
