Court Correspondent :
The High Court Division of the Supreme Court on Thursday refused to grant bail to convicted industrialist Ragib Ali and his son Abdul Hye in a case filed for forging legal documents to grab the endowed property of Tarapur Tea Estate in Sylhet district.
A Sylhet court on February 2 sentenced Ragib and his son to 14 years in the prison. The High Court Bench of Justice
AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil disposed of a petition filed by the convicts seeking bail in the case.
Deputy Attorney General Md Bashirullah told newsmen that the High Court refused to grant bail to Ragib Ali and his son Abdul Hye as an appeal against their conviction and sentence is pending with the district and sessions judge’s court of Sylhet. The District and Sessions Judge’s Court is scheduled to hear on their appeal on August 18. Ragib Ali and Abdul Hye sought bail from the High Court on the ground that Ragib Ali is old and physically very sick.
On February 2, Sylhet’s Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Saifuzzaman Hiru ordered similar punishment for both the accused- Ragib and Hye which is six years’ imprisonment each under Section 466 and Section 468, and one year each under Section 420 and Section 471 of the Penal Code in the case. The court also fined them Tk 10,000 each, in default they will serve another three months in the jail.
The Chief Metropolitan Magistrate said Ragib and his son are influential, but they forged the Land Ministry’s official documents to grab the endowed property of Tarapur Tea Estate, which was proved in the court.
