HC directs govt to allow Mobin to go abroad

The High Court (HC) yesterday directed the government to allow BNP Vice-chairman Shamsher Mobin Chowdhury to go abroad.
On July 28, the immigration police at Hazrat Shahjalal (R) International Airport barred Mobin from leaving the country for New York.
An HC bench also issued a rule upon the government to explain within four weeks why its action preventing Mobin to go abroad should not be declared illegal.
The bench of Justice MA Wahhab Miah and Justice Kazi Reza-ul Huq court came up with the order following a writ petition filed by the BNP leader challenging the legality of the government's action in barring him from going abroad.
