July atrocities: No permission needed to arrest FIR accused
The Supreme Court chamber judge yesterday upheld a High Court order that cleared the way for law enforcers to arrest any FIR-named accused or suspects without permission from the higher authorities in connection with the cases filed over the July uprising.
Justice Md Rezaul Haque passed the order following a petition filed by the government.
He also sent the petition to its full bench for hearing on May 19, said writ petitioner Advocate Md Jasim Uddin.
The HC on April 23 stayed for three months the DMP commissioner’s order, which said law enforcers must get prior permission from higher authorities to arrest FIR-named accused or suspects in the cases related to July uprising.
