The High Court has ordered the government not to bar BNP leader Syed Iskander from going abroad or returning to the country for the next three months.
The order from a two-judge bench of justice Tarique-ul-Hakim and justice Azizul Haque came Sunday following a petition by Iskander, brother of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
During the hearing, Barrister Mahbubuddin Khokon said the court order was needed because Iskander "was barred from flying abroad and he may be barred again".
Following a separate petition by former commerce minister Altaf Hossain, the same bench issued a rule to the government asking why a similar 'no travel bar' order should not be given for Altaf.
Meanwhile, BNP leader and ex-MP Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu filed a petition with the bench seeking an order to prevent arrest or harassment by the government, following the inclusion of his name in the probe report of the BDR mutiny.
In the petition, Pintu said he feared "arrest or harrassment" as the probe report claimed he assisted the BDR mutineers to flee.
Deputy attorney general Khurshid Alam Sarker said a hearing on Pintu's petition might be held on Monday.

Very nice blog ! As first attempt I would say excellent. I hardly read news because the situation of law & order just does not make sense anymore. Just think about this news for a second and you will find out that even politicians needs courts assistance in their life and they fear and face uncertain circumstances. Who is to blame for this ? I would say US because our collective wisdom has decided to not have justice in our country. Our politicians reflect our own mindset of lawlessness and giving justice to others. When we do not provide justice to others it comes back to us and we do not get justice. So finally we get to taste our own fruit. I do not know when this "shooting in our own foot" will end.
