He filed the case against AL General Secretary Abdul Jalil, presidium members Abdur Samad Azad, Abdur Razzak, Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed, Suranjit Sengupta, Motia Chowdhury and Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, advisory committee members ASHK Sadique, SAMS Kibria and leaders Abdul Shahid and Obaidul Kader with the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka.

In the case 53 people including 14 lawyers were made prosecution witnesses.

Delwar alleged that the AL at a press conference at its Dhanmondi office on October 16 published a list of what they termed 101 godfathers run by newspapers the next day.

The list damaged his and his son Paban's personal, social and political image, Delwar claimed.

He said no case was filed against his son, who has long been sick, with any police station or court.

The chief whip said he would file a damage suit with a civil court claiming more damages.

Metropolitan Magistrate Emdadul Haq took the case into cognizance and issued summons upon the accused asking them to appear before the court on December 2.

Advocates Sanaullah Miah and Masud Ahmed Talukder appeared before the complainant.
