Contempt of court: Prothom Alo editor summoned
The Supreme Court today summoned Prothom Alo Editor Matiur Rahman and its Joint Editor Mizanur Rahman Khan before it on January 5 in connection with a contempt of court petition.
SC lawyer Sirajum Munir filed the petition for publishing an article titled ‘Selection of Chief Justice (Prodhan Bicharpati Bechhe Naowa)’ in the Prothom Alo today.
Mizanur Rahman has written the article.
After hearing the petition, an eight-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain also issued a contempt of court rule against Matiur Rahman and Mizanur Rahman for publishing the article.
Senior lawyer Mahmudul Islam, Rokanuddin Mahmud, Ajmalul Hossain and Attorney General Mahbubey Alam placed argument before the apex court saying that the article is contemptuous.
