Two Supreme Court lawyers today filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking its directive on the government to take necessary steps to bring back money that was laundered by Bangladeshi nationals and organisations and deposited to different foreign banks, including Swiss Bank.
Abdul Kaiyum Khan and Subir Nandi Das collectively submitted the petition as a public interest litigation requesting the HC to ask the authorities concerned of the government to take necessary measures to stop depositing illegal money from Bangladesh to foreign banks.
In the petition, they prayed to the HC to constitute a special investigation team to find out and control the deposition of Bangladeshi money to foreign banks.
They also urged the HC to issue a rule asking the authorities to explain why their failure and inaction to stop depositing Bangladeshi money to those banks should not be declared illegal.
Subir Nandi Das said that the HC bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Mohi Uddin Shamim may hold hearing on the petition tomorrow.
