The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court asked Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed, a member of the governing body of the reputed educational institution Ideal School and College of Motijheel, who married an eleventh grader of the institution, to be refrained from all activities of the institution.
The court also asked him not to enter the premises of the Ideal School and College in Motijheel.
Justice M Enayetur Rahim, Chamber judge of the Appellate Division, passed the direction on Sunday while holding hearing on a petition filed by the state against a High Court order that granted anticipatory bail for six weeks to Khandaker Mushtaq.
Attorney General said, “A High Court Bench on August 17 granted anticipatory bail for six weeks to Khandaker Mushtaq in a case filed on charge of raping that student.
The state filed a petition seeking a stay on the HC order.
The chamber judge did not stay the HC order.
However, it has issued a ban upon Mushtaq’s participation in all activities of the governing body of the institution.”
Earlier a writ petition was filed on Sunday seeking High Court directives to hand over the custody of the victim student to her father.
Before granting bail to Khandaker Mushtaq, the High Court heard the statement of the student.
She told the court that she is an adult and willingly married him.
Khandaker Mushtaq married the eleventh grader in last March.
Student’s father on August 1 filed a case with the Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-8 in Dhaka against Khandaker Mushtaq (60) on charge of raping by trapping her daughter.
In the case, allegations of aiding and abetting the rape were brought against institution’s Principal Fauzia Rashedi. After accepting the statement of the plaintiff (student’s father) the court ordered the Gulshan Police Station to record the case. Accordingly, the police registered the case.
Earlier he filed a kidnapping case against Khandaker Mushtaq on June 22 this year in Thakurgaon.
Several video footages of the eleventh grade female student of the Ideal School and College of Motijheel with Khandaker Mushtaq have gone viral on social media recently. The guardians of the institution became furious after the release of such a relationship between a senior member of the board of directors and a minor student.
