UNB, Dhaka :
The High Court has asked the Civil Aviation Authority to be more cautious while verifying the identities of the persons accompanying VIPs in the VIP lounge of airports.
An HC bench of Justice Qazi Reza-ul Haque and Justice Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman came up with the observation on Sunday while disposing off a ‘suo moto’ rule which was issued earlier by the same bench.
The High Court on April issued the rule asking the authorities concerned to explain why war crimes convict late Ghulam Azam’s wife and relatives could avail themselves of the VIP facility at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
The Home Ministry Secretary, the chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority, deputy commissioner of Uttara police, officer-in-charge of Airport Police Station, director of the Shahjalal Airport, its chief security officer and the ‘VIP pass’ provider Dilna Begum were asked to respond to the rule in two weeks.
The HC bench also ordered the Civil Aviation Authority chairman to submit within two weeks a report in this connection and fixed June 12 for the next hearing.
Later, the HC in a hearing on Sunday disposed off the rule.
Barrister Saifur Rashid represented the Civil Aviation Authority during the hearing, while deputy attorney general Tapas Kumar Biswas the state.
