A Dhaka Court on Thursday ordered for the attachment of properties belong to e-commerce platform Evaly's Chairman Shamima Nasrin and its Managing Director (MD) and her husband Mohammad Rassel in a cheque dishonour case.
Dhaka Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Tofazzal Hossain passed the order, said H M Al-Amin, lawyer of the plaintiff.
The lawyer said the plantiff filed a plea to confiscate their assets on Monday. The court passed the order after hearing of his petition.
According to the case documents, plaintiff Mehedi Hasan Khan ordered different goods including three motorcycles, worth of Tk8.54 lakh from Evaly on January 23, 2021, and paid the money through mobile banking. Though Evaly was supposed to deliver him the goods within 45 days of ordering, the accused failed to do that.
Evaly authorities on March 9, 2021, gave him a cheque, which Mehedi tried to cash on July 5. But the cheque was bounced. He later sent the accused legal notice on October 14 and subsequently filed the case on November 28 last year.
The court on February 1, 2022, issued arrest warrant against Rassel and Shamima, and as the law enforcers failed to submit report on executing the order on three hearing dates, the court came up with the latest order.
