Hearing on Gulshan residence: SC dismisses Moudud`s review
Court Correspondent :
The Supreme Court on Sunday rejected two appeals seeking review of apex court judgment cancelling High Court verdict to transfer the title of entry
of a Gulshan house in the name of BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed’s brother Manjur Ahmed.
A five-member Appellate Division panel headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha dismissed the plea with observations, paving the way for the former law minister to leave House Number 159 in Gulshan-2 for sure.
One of the review petitions was filed by Moudud’s brother Manjur Ahmed and another was filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Besides, the apex court also dismissed another review plea of ACC challenging Appellate Division judgment quashing a graft case filed in this regard against Moudud and his brother Manjur.
Moudud Ahmed in his instant reaction said he will not leave the possession of the house.
“I will not the leave the possession of house number 159 in Gulshan-2, where I have been living with my family for the last three decades. It is the matter between the owner of the house and me. It is not a matter of the government,” he told journalists on the court premises after the verdict yesterday.
He said he has many memories attached to that house.
“Now I’m going to try to reach a mutual agreement with the main owner of the house. If the government asks me to leave the house, I will continue my legal battle,” he said.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said Moudud, according to the fresh order, must leave the house; otherwise, the government can take proper steps to take control over it.
“He (Moudud) must leave the house,” he told reporters on the court premises after the verdict yesterday.
Earlier on August 2, 2016, the apex court cancelled a High Court order that had asked Rajuk to transfer the title of entry of the establishment in name of Moudud’s brother.
According to sources, the real owner of that plot numbered 159 in Gulshan- 2 was a Pakistani citizen named Md Ehsan. It was registered in his wife’s name.
But they fled Bangladesh for Pakistan in 1971, deserting the property. It was registered as an abandoned property in 1972.
