The High Court on Tuesday directed the Officer in Charge of the Mugda Police Station of the capital to produce a Canadian female citizen in the court on April 10.
The High Court bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice S M Maniruzzaman passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed by two rights organization, Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) and Ain O Salis Kendra (ASK).
Lawyers ZI Khan Panna, Sara Hossain, Shahinuzzaman and Aysha Siddqua appeared in the court on behalf of the writ petitioners.
Sources said, the Canadian citizen of Bangladeshi descent came to the country recently. After that her parents do not want to send her abroad anymore. In this circumstance, she sought help from the Canadian High Commission through email.
The High Commission then communicated with the rights organizations and accordingly the rights organisations filed the writ petition with the High Court on last Sunday.
