Court Correspondent :
Further charge hearing in 11 cases filed against 22 Hall-Mark people including its Chairman Jesmin Islam and Managing Director Tanveer Mahmud will now be held on February 17.
After the Tuesday’s hearing that continued up to 6 pm, the court fixed the new date to decide on whether charges will be framed against the accused or not. Senior Special Metropolitan Judge of Dhaka, Md Kamrul Hossain Molla, passed the order.
Meanwhile, the defence lawyers have told the court that the Investigation
Officer of the case did not conduct his investigation properly. As the investigation of every case was defective, it will not be logical to frame charges against the accused people, they added. Advocates Md Borhan Uddin and Ehsanul Haque Samaji among others’ moved the cases on behalf of the accused.
On the contrary, the prosecution lawyers told the court that the accused took loan, amounting to Tk 4100 crore from the Sonali Bank in connivance with one another. Later, instead of repaying the loan they transferred money from one bank to another through money-laundering. On behalf of the prosecution, Public Prosecutors Mosharraf Hossain Kajal and Meer Abdus Salam conducted the cases.
Meanwhile, the charge hearing against Jesmin Islam and her husband Tanveer Mahmud ended in the case filed for non-submission of wealth statement following the notices of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). They were present on the occasion. Later, the court decided to pass its order in the case on February 16.
