The Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Thursday refused to issue any injunction on dissemination of news, statements, opinions, reports and videos in the media regarding transferring assets abroad by S Alam Group owner Mohammad Saiful Alam (S Alam) and his wife Farzana Parveen.

However, the Chamber Judge has kept with record the petition filed by S Alam and his wife seeking an injunction against dissemination of news, statements, opinions, reports, videos regarding transferring assets abroad by them.

The court also said that the petitioners, if they wish, can place this application during the hearing of the leave to appeal petition that is scheduled to be heard on January 8 in 2024 by the regular Appellate Division Bench.

The Chamber Judge also sent the matter to the regular Appellate Division Bench for detailed hearing on it on that day.

In continuation of that petition, S Alam and his wife last Tuesday, September 12, filed a petition seeking an injunction against dissemination of news, statements, opinions, reports, videos regarding transferring assets abroad by them till settlement of the HC order.
