Tax Evasion Cases
Court orders Jamuna Group chairman to appear before it on June 27
A Dhaka court yesterday ordered Jamuna Group Chairman Nurul Islam Babul and two others to appear before it on June 27 in connection with seven cases filed for dodging Tk 45.31 crore in income tax.
The two others are Babul's wife Salma Islam and their son Shamim Islam.
Earlier in the day, the court accepted the charges against the trio after recording statements of three deputy tax commissioners of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
On May 19, the deputy tax commissioners -- Ataul Haque, Zahirul Islam and Dipak Kumar Chakraborty -- filed the cases with the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka.
On May 21, the trio got one-month anticipatory bail from the High Court.
In their complaints, the NBR officials alleged that the accused as a chairman and managing directors of Jamuna Group had evaded Tk 45,31,28,880 in income tax from fiscal years 2007-08 to 2011-12.
The complainants also said the accused did not submit their wealth statements of Tk 155,19,14,230 in their tax returns and had provided false information about their incomes and expenditures.
