STAFF REPORTER, Dhaka
The High Court (HC) yesterday directed the authorities of a launch, MV Yard, to give Tk 3 lakh in 15 days for the treatment of six-year-old child Zaima Newaz Tisa, who lost a finger of her right leg after the launch hit her at Fatullah launch terminal.
In response to a writ petition, the HC bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman came up with the order. The HC bench also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain in four weeks why they should not be directed to give Tk 50 lakh to Zaima for her treatment and livelihood.
It also asked them to explain why their failure to ensure the security of Zaima at the launch terminal should not be declared illegal. A total of 12 persons including secretary of water transport ministry, chairman of BIWTA, director of water department, Mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation, deputy commissioner of Narayanganj district and owner of launch MV Yard Mamunur Rashid have made respondents to comply with the HC order and rule. Rights organisation Ain o Shalish Kendra and Zaimas father Md Gazi Jamal jointly filed the writ petition with the HC seeking necessary orders in this regard. After the HC order, Advocate Anisul Hasan, counsel for the petitioner, told reporters that Zaima lost a finger of her right foot in the accident on December 29, 2017. The authorities failed to take necessary steps to punish the perpetrators responsible for the incident, he said. Earlier on October 24, Ain O Shalish Kendra (ASK) and Zaimas father filed the writ petition with the High Court seeking its directives on the authorities concerned to give Tk 50 lakh as compensation, treatment and livelihood of Zaima. After primary hearing on the petition, the HC bench came up with the order yesterday, he added.
