Money Laundering: How Yunus regime used ACC, Supreme Court to acquit Tarique, Mamun<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Justice Khairul Haque, 81, was taken to the DB office on Minto Road in the capital. There are several cases against him, the officer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was interrogated at the DB office until evening and produced in court <\/a>with his hands cuffed behind him at 8:15pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The police showed him arrested in a murder <\/a>case filed over the killing of Jubo Dal activist Abdul Kaiyum Ahad, 16, in Dhaka’s Jatrabari area on July 18 last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They did not seek his remand and prayed to the court for his confinement in jail until the investigation was complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Justice Khairul was not allowed to have a lawyer to represent him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Outside the court custody, the BNP-leaning lawyers created a mob, forcing the prison van to take extra security measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earlier, the BNP <\/a>held a press conference and demanded exemplary punishment for the former chief justice. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir thanked the interim government for arresting the former chief justice, albeit belatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was sworn in as the 19th Chief Justice of the country on October 1, 2010. He retired on May 17 the following year, at the age of 67.<\/p>\n\n\n Ex-CJ faces 3 cases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The murder case was filed on July 6 this year by Ala Uddin, 61, a BNP leader from Noakhali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plaintiff accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Justice Khairul, and 465 others in connection with the killing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The case also names 1,000 to 2,000 unnamed Awami League activists and 100 to 150 law enforcers as accused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On August 15 last year, a case was filed against Justice Khairul at Fatulla police station in Narayanganj by Abdul Bari Bhuiyan, the general secretary of the Thana BNP and a former president of the District Bar Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, he is accused of changing the verdict to annul the 13th Amendment to the Constitution and forgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Complaint filed at ICC against 3 army officers, Yunus-Waker for Gopalganj massacre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ICT-BD: Awami League condemns indictment of Sheikh Hasina<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Weaponizing Accountability: Allegations of political bias in the Anti-Corruption Commission<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Three days later, on August 18, Supreme Court lawyer Mujahidul Islam Shaheen filed a case against Justice Khairul with the Shahbagh police station over allegations of corruption and forgery of verdicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Out of scene for 11 months<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While in the High Court Division, Justice Khairul gave the verdict in the Bangabandhu assassination case and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from this, he gave verdicts in various cases, including protecting the four rivers of Dhaka and declaring independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2013, he was appointed as the chairman of the Law Commission for a three-year term. After this term, the former judge was reappointed to the same position several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He resigned from the Law Commission on August 13 after the fall of the Awami League government and was no longer seen in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caretaker government verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While in the Appellate Division, Justice Khairul gave the verdict to abolish the caretaker government system on May 10, 2011, and released the full verdict on September 16, 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He stirred controversy for writing the full verdict after retiring from his post, but he insisted <\/a>that there is no legal bar to writing a verdict after a chief justice goes into retirement. There have been many instances in the Appellate Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The parliament passed the 15th Amendment to the Constitution on June 30, 2011, and it came into effect on July 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 17 last year, the High Court restored the caretaker government system following two separate writ petitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the judgement, the bench scrapped a part of the 15th Amendment that abolished the system and restored the provision for holding a referendum for bringing any amendment to the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On that day, the court also said the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will make the final decision about the restoration of the caretaker government system, as review petitions on a verdict on the amendment are pending with the apex court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The full verdict <\/a>was released earlier this month, following which the National Consensus Commission tabled a fresh proposal <\/a>on July 20, after three rounds of discussion over alternative proposals on the caretaker government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new proposal cuts the number of members in the caretaker government chief adviser selection committee from 13 to 5 and mandates that the general elections be held within 90 days of the dissolution of Parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Detectives have arrested former Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque, who faces at least two cases, including one for declaring the verdict revoking the caretaker government provision from the Constitution.
