Hearing on charge framing against Babar adjourned
A Dhaka court yesterday for the third time adjourned the hearing on charge framing in a tax evasion case against former state minister for home Lutfozzaman Babar till August 17.
Special Judge's Court-5 Judge AKM Nasiruddin Mahmud passed the order after a petition submitted by Babar's lawyer saying his client had filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking quashment of the case.
After the hearing, the HC issued a rule upon the government to explain why the case should not be quashed, he added. So, Babar's lawyer prayed the adjournment of the hearing.
On February 14 this year, Deputy Tax Commissioner of the National Board of Revenue Syed Zakir Hossain filed the case against Babar.
NBR, in its case statement mentioned that Babar, director of Master Electronics Industries Limited, evaded Tk 2,65,44,122 as income tax upon his income of Tk 8,06,80,122 for the fiscal years 1999-2000 to 2008-2009.
Babar repeatedly provided false information about his real income and expenditure, alleged the NBR statement.
He was shown arrested in the August 21, 2004 grenade attack case and remanded a number of times.
