HC asks Salam Murshedy to hand over Gulshan house to govt

The High Court (HC) on Tuesday ordered lawmaker Abdus Salam Murshedy to hand over Gulshan-2 house, which was illegally occupied by him, to the government terming it as abandoned property.

The bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Kazi Ebadoth Hossain pronounced the judgment today, asking Murshedy to hand over the property through the Housing and Public Works Ministry within three months of receiving the verdict.

The court also ordered the housing and public works secretary to submit a report to the High Court Division registrar within 15 days of receiving the property.

The High Court came up with the judgment after holding a hearing on a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman, MP, on October 30, 2022.
