HC bench declines to hear writ of MA Matin Staff Correspondent


A High Court (HC) bench yesterday declined to hear a writ petition filed by former adviser of the caretaker government Maj Gen (retd) MA Matin seeking an order not to harass or arrest him without any specific case against him.

The HC bench of Justice Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Borhan Uddin also dropped the petition from the cause list of the bench.

The bench, however, told the lawyer for Matin that the petition might be moved to any other bench of this court.

Counsels for both the petitioner and the government said that when the petition was placed for hearing, the HC bench said that they would not entertain this petition for hearing but did not mention any reason for this.

Matin's lawyer Advocate Giasuddin Ahmed told The Daily Star that the police have raided his client's residence in Chittagong although there is no case against him.

"We will move the petition to another bench of the High Court next week," he said.

Deputy Attorney General Mostafa Zaman Islam said MA Matin filed the writ petition apprehending that he might be arrested any time without any specific case.
