Judgement of an arms case against Dhaka City Corporation Ward Commissioner Monwar Hossain Dipjal will be delivered today in his absence.

Another Dhaka court transferred the money laundering case against former housing and public works minister Mirza Abbas to the Special Tribunal-6 for its quick disposal.

Proceedings of the graft case against Awami League leader and ex-home minister Mohammad Nasim were adjourned yesterday.

HARRIS CASE
Judge Mohammad Azizul Haq of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court passed the attachment order, as Harris did not comply with the court order in connection with a money laundering case.

Earlier on July 18, the same court issued arrest warrant against Harris and directed officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station to implement the arrest warrant and submit a report to the court by yesterday.

Following the order, Gulshan police raided Harris' house to arrest him but failed and submitted a report to the court saying that they did not find Harris anywhere in the city. Police also appealed to the court for attachment of his properties.

According to the case statement, Harris hoarded foreign currencies worth around Tk 5.64 lakh with a plan to smuggle those abroad.

On May 22, a special court sentenced Harris to three years' imprisonment for not submitting his wealth statements to the Anti-corruption Commission.

CASE AGINST SIRAJ FAMILY
The same court ordered to attach properties of Shahjahan Siraj, his wife Rabeya Haider and son Rajib Siraj in connection with eleven tax evasion cases.

The order came after Gulshan police submitted reports yesterday saying they raided their house but could not arrest them.

The court had earlier issued arrest warrants against them after three tax officials of the National Board of Revenue filed tax evasion cases.

Of the cases, one was filed against Siraj, five were filed against Rabeya and five others against Rajib for not submitting tax return on their income for several years.

CASE AGAINST DIPJAL
Judge Nuruzzaman of the Special Tribunal-7 will deliver today the verdict of a case against Dipjal filed for possessing illegal firearms and ammunition at his Mirpur residence in March this year.

Earlier, the prosecution and the defence had completed their arguments and the court recorded statements of 24 prosecution witnesses.

The joint forces raided his Mirpur residence on March 8 and seized huge arms and ammunition from there.

ABBAS CASE
The same court yesterday transferred the money laundering case against Abbas to the Special Tribunal-6 for its quick disposal.

Abbas was not produced before the court yesterday due to his illness.

The joint forces seized a huge sum in local and foreign currencies and other items from Abbas' South Shahjahanpur residence in the capital on February 4.

NASIM CASE
Judge Mohammad Firoz Alam of the First Special Judge-- set up at Shere-e-Bangla Nagar MP Hostel-- adjourned hearing of a graft case against Nasim and his wife Laila Arzumand Banu following a time petition by the defence lawyers.

The court fixed Thursday for next hearing of the case.

Nasim was produced before the court while his wife was absent from the court due to her illness.

In the case, it was alleged that the couple concealed Tk 1.26 crore in their wealth statements to the ACC.
