সংগৃহীত ছবি

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has summoned Supreme Court Lawyer Ashraful Islam Ashraf for making objectionable statements about some of the justices, judges and lawyers of the High Court on social media, reports BSS.

The court has asked him to appear on August 29 to explain his actions. Until then, he will not be able to conduct any case in any court of the country.

Besides, the court has ordered BTRC to immediately remove his statement circling on Facebook.

A six-judge Appellate Division Bench led by Chief Justice Obaidul Hasan gave the order on Sunday.

Senior advocate Ahsanul Karim told the newsmen, "It's been quite a long time that he (Ashraf) has been delivering false and insulting remarks pointing at some of the justices, judges and lawyers. A few lawyers filed contempt of court against him. The court, after hearing our application today, summoned him to clarify."
