SCHOOLBOY SHOOTING : Govt appeals against HC order asking MP to surrender

The government on Tuesday appealed to the Appellate Division for staying a High Court order that asked ruling Awami League lawmaker Manjurul Islam Liton to surrender to the lower court by October 18 in the case of shooting at a schoolboy in the legs.
Attorney general Mahbubey Alam told reporters that the appeal might be heard by the Appellate Division vacation judge in chamber today.
The appeal stated that the High Court order passed on Monday contradicted an Appellate Division verdict that prohibited issuance of any directive on a plea for anticipatory bail.
The lawmaker, who hit headlines for shooting at a nine-year-old schoolboy in the legs in Gaibandha on October 2, should have been handed over to the police as his plea for anticipatory bail was rejected, said the attorney general.
On Monday, the vacation bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Bhisma Dev Chakravarty asked Manjurul to surrender ejecting his petition seeking anticipatory bail in the case.
The bench also issued same order on another petition filed by Manjurul seeking anticipatory bail in another case filed on October 8 against him and nine of his associates on charge of vandalising a house and looting its corrugated tin sheet roofs and furniture in a Gaibandha village after shooting the child.
