State-owned Sonali Bank yesterday filed another case against Hall-Mark Chairman Jasmine Islam and its Managing Director Tanvir Mahmud to realise a defaulted loan amount of Tk13.62 crore from Boby Flatbed Printing Ltd, a concern of the group.
Abdus Salam, executive officer of Ruposhi Bangla Hotel Corporate Branch of the bank, filed the case through their counsel on behalf of the Bank.
To realise the money, the bank issued final notice to the group. But as the company did not take any step, the bank issued a legal notice. At last, the bank filed the case yesterday with the Money Loan Court 1 of Dhaka (Artha Rin Adalat 1).
After a primary hearing, Judge Md Rabiuzzaman took the case into cognisance and ordered the accused to submit their written statements to the court by August 13.
The bank has so far filed 15 cases against the Hall-Mark Group to realise their outstanding loan amounting to Tk852.72 crore.
Plaintiff Salam told the Dhaka Tribune: “Hall-Mark took the loan from Sonali Bank’s Ruposhi Bangla Hotel Branch to import and purchase machineries for Boby Flatbed Printing Ltd.”
The case statement says the defendants were given the loan in phases from 2011 to April 30 this year.
