Paper book of case ready

STAFF REPORTER
Paper book of case ready

The authorities concerned of the High Court (HC) have prepared the paper book of sensational Biswajit Das murder case. Sabbir Faiz, additional registrar (admin) of the HC, told reporters that the paper book of the case have been prepared on priority basis under instruction from the Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha so that the case is settled quickly. A High Court bench is likely to start the hearing on the separate appeals filed by both the jail authority and convicts challenging the lower court verdict that sentenced eight Bangladesh Chattra League (BCL) activists to death and 13 others to life imprisonment in connection with Biswajit Das murder case.
Now, Chief Justice will assign a High Court bench to hold the hearing on the death reference. The hearing on the death reference will start quickly after the Chief Justice send it to a High Court for disposal, Faiz added. A paper book contains all the details of a case, trial proceedings, statements, evidence, verdicts and other documents. The book is necessary for the HC to hear and dispose of a death reference or an appeal. Sabbir Faiz also said the convicts of the case have filed 14 appeals with the HC challenging the lower court verdict against them in the case. On December 18, 2013, a Dhaka court sentenced eight BCL activists to death and 13 others to life imprisonment for killing tailor Biswajit Das.
Biswajit Das, 24, was hacked to death in public on his way to his tailoring shop at Shakharibazar in Old Dhaka during the opposition's countrywide road-blockade programme on December 9, 2012. Mistaking him for a blockader, the BCL activists of Jagannath University unit swooped on him in front of Bahadur Shah Park and hacked him with machetes and beat him with iron rods and hockey sticks.
Police pressed charges against the 21 accused on March 5, 2013 and the tribunal framed charges against them on June 2 of that year. Of the convict, eight are now in jail while 13 others on the run.
