Purbachal Plot Scam: Court rejects four lawyers’ plea to defend Hasina
  Bangla Press Desk:  ‎Four lawyers on Thursday applied to Dhaka Special Judge's Court-4 seeking permission to defend ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina in a case filed over alleged plot allocation irregularities in Rajuk's Purbachal New Town Project. They submitted their application at the court of Judge Md Robiul Alam in this regard, which was rejected. The lawyers who submitted petition to appear for Hasina, are - Morshed Hossain Shahin, Imran Hossain, Sheikh Farid and Topu. Morshed Hossain said, We submitted applications this morning at our own expense to be appointed as legal counsel for Hasina. But the plea was denied by the court.
He said, the court further stated that they too want the rule of law and justice to be established. However, since there are legal obligations, the petition has been rejected. ‎Regarding the petition ACC prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam said, since this case does not involve capital punishment, a lawyer cannot be appointed for accused who are absconding. There is no legal provision for that. ‎The ACC filed the six cases regarding the plot alloction irregularities in Purbachal New Town Project from 12 January to 14 January, this year and the concerned investigation officers filed charge sheets on March 10.
