UNB, Dhaka :
The High Court on Monday summoned BNP standing committee member Gayeshwar Chandra Roy and two leaders of Doctors’ Association of Bangladesh (DAB) over a contempt of court charge.
An HC bench comprising Justice Kazi Reza-Ul Haq and justice ABM Altaf Hossain passed the suo moto order following newspaper reports.
The DAB leaders are its vice-president Prof Dr M A Salam and secretary general Prof Dr AZM Zahid Hossain in this connection. The court asked them to appear before it April 20.
On Sunday, at a human chain, organised by DAB in front of the National Press Club, Gayeshwar said, ‘All courts are confined to Mujib coat’. The court also issued a suo moto rule asking them to explain why legal steps would not be taken against them for making such a comment.
