Contempt of Court: HC summons 2 SC lawyers
The High Court yesterday issued a contempt of court rule against two Supreme Court lawyers -- Syed Sayedul Haque Suman and Ishrat Hasan -- for allegedly posting derogatory comments about the judiciary on Facebook.
In the rule, the court asked the lawyers to explain why contempt of court proceedings should not be initiated against them.
The HC summoned them to appear before it in person on November 16 to place their explanations.
The HC bench of Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore and Justice Mohammad Ullah came up with the rule and summons order.
The court also imposed a cost of Tk 100 on each of the two lawyers.
