The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has ruled that two children of Japanese citizen Nakano Eriko and Bangladeshi national Imran Sharif will remain with their mother Eriko until a case filed by the father for the custody of the children is settled in the Family Court.
A five-member Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain came up with the order.
The order stated that “It is directed that Nakano Jasmin Malika alias Jasmin Malika Sharif and Nakano Liala Lina alias Liala Lina Sharif shall remain in the custody of their mother Eriko Nakano pending the Family Suit No. 247 of 2021, at present pending in the court of the Assistant Judge, 2nd Additional Court and Family Court, Dhaka”.
The apex court also directed the concerned family court to dispose of family suit No. 247 of 2021 within three months of the receipt of this order.
