A writ petition has been
filed in the High Court seeking directions to form a commission of inquiry to
find out the culprits behind the conspiracy to assassinate Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members.
On Monday (October 25),
Supreme Court Advocate Subir Nandi Das, Advocate Md. Asfakozzoha filed the
writ.
The High Court bench of
Justice JBM Hasan and Justice Rajik Al Jalil is likely to hear the writ
petition next week. The Secretary to the Council of Ministers, the Secretary to
the Ministry of Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, the Secretary to the
Ministry of Home Affairs and the Secretary to the Ministry of Finance have been
named as defendants in the writ petition.
Advocate Subir Nandi Das said
the writ petition cited the verdicts issued by the courts of different
countries in the light of the relevant laws, including the formation of a
commission of inquiry into the killings of statesmen from different parts of
the world.
He said that based on the preliminary
report of the commission of inquiry into the assassination of Bangabandhu
formed by the members of the British Parliament in 1982, he had filed a writ
petition seeking an independent national commission to fully review and
investigate the conspiracy to assassinate Father of the Nation Bangabandhu
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
