Hearing on Tuku's petition on March 15

The hearing on the petition filed by Iqbal Hassan Mahmood Tuku seeking attachment of former army chief General Moeen U Ahmed's properties before judgment was not held yesterday as the conducting judge was on leave.
Judge (in-charge) Ash Shams Joglul Hossain of the Third Joint District Judge's Court fixed March 15 for the next hearing.
Earlier on January 10, the same court rejected Moeen's petition seeking dismissal of Tuku's Tk 100 crore defamation case.
Former state minister for energy Tuku filed the defamation suit on July 12 last year accusing the former army chief of making derogatory remarks that damaged Tuku's reputation.
After the hearing, the court issued a notice asking Moeen to explain within three weeks why his properties would not be attached.
