The High Court yesterday stayed BNP Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi’s three-day remand in a vandalism case for a month.
In response to a writ petition, the court also issued a ruling on the government, asking it to explain within two weeks why Rizvi’s remand order should not be declared illegal.
The bench of Justice Md Nuruzzaman and Justice Zafar Ahmed gave the stay order.
The vandalism case was filed with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar police Station and the remand order was issued on March 31, Rizvi’s counsel Sagir Hossain Leon said.
“Although police have not yet taken him on remand for questioning in the case, they now cannot do so as the court has stayed the remand,” he added.
