NID cards need to be submitted for filing cases: HC
Senior advocate Zainul Abedin and advocate Emadul Haque Basir appeared for the writ petition
The High Court has given the directive that plaintiffs or complainants have to submit copies of their national identity (NID) cards while filing any case with a police station or court against someone from now on.
The HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Mostafizur Rahman passed the order on Monday.
The order came after the hearing of a writ petition filed by Ekramul Ahsan Kanchan, a resident of Shantinagar in the capital, to find the plaintiffs of 49 'fake' cases filed against him.
