Former Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque has been placed on a seven-day remand by a Dhaka court for interrogation in a case filed over allegedly delivering a "maliciously unlawful verdict" and producing a "forged judgment" during his tenure as a judge.
The decision came on Wednesday after Dhaka’s Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md. Sanaullah heard a police plea seeking a 10-day remand.
The court granted a seven-day remand instead, according to state counsel Shamsuddoha Suman.
The case was filed with Shahbagh Police Station on August 27 last year by Supreme Court lawyer Mujahidul Islam Shaheen, accusing the former top judge of corruption and verdict forgery.
