Compensation for Russel: HC verdict on April 15
The High Court will deliver its verdict on April 15 on a writ petition that sought adequate compensation for Russel Sarker, who lost his leg after a bus of Green Line Paribahan ran him over in April 2018.
The HC bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader set the date after concluding hearing on the petition.
Russel, a chauffer, was run over by the bus after he got into an altercation with the bus driver on April 4, 2018.
Following a petition, the HC issued a rule on May 14, 2018 asking the Green Line authorities and the government to explain why they should not pay Tk 1 crore compensation to Russel.
The HC on March 31 last year directed Green Line to pay Tk 50 lakh to Russel in installments.
But it has so far given only Tk 13.38 lakh, petitioner's lawyer Khandakar Shamsul Haque Reza said yesterday.
