The High Court has acquitted a schoolboy from Tangail`s Sakhipur after cancelling his two-year jail term that was awarded to him by a mobile court for allegedly making some remarks on Facebook regarding a local MP.
The court has also directed the public administration and home ministries and the inspector general of police to withdraw Sakhipur Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, also an executive magistrate, and Sakhipur police OC Md Maksudul Alam, respectively.
The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Ashish Ranjan Das gave the order on Tuesday after finishing the hearing on their suo moto rule on the matter.
The court also ordered the chief judicial magistrate of Tangail to launch a judicial inquiry based on the statement given by the ninth grader.
The bench on Sep 20 had granted the boy permanent bail and summoned the UNO and the OC after Supreme Court lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan placed before them a news report on the schoolboy`s jailing.
