A High Court bench on Tuesday warned former Awami League general secretary Abdul Jalil that he would be arrested if he proceeds to construct a Mercantile Bank Hospital on the land belonging to a temple in Naogaon.
Jalil owns the bank.
The bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore asked the Sheikh Fazle Nur Taposh, the lawyer of the bank's managing director to convey the warning to Jalil.
In its observation, the court said, Jalil is a rich man why he should be so greedy to build an establishment on the land belonging to a temple.
The court also directed the Rajshahi additional deputy commissioner (revenue) and Mercantile Bank's Naogon branch manger to appear before it on August 11 to explain the allegations published in a report of the daily Jugantar on its July 27 issue under the caption, 'Hospital is being built demolishing centuries old temple.'
On July 27, the court, issued a suo moto rule taking cognizance of the newspaper report, and directed the authorities to explain why appropriate and stern action should not be taken against the management of the bank.
