Court asked to return Manna’s passport for 3 months

The Supreme Court today directed the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate of Dhaka to return Nagorik Oikya Convener Mahmudur Rahman Manna’s passport for three months so that he can go abroad for treatment and visiting his children.

The apex court also asked Manna to resubmit his passport to the CMM court after three months.

A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order following a petition filed by Manna in this regard.

Manna submitted his passport to the CMM in 2016 in line with a condition issued by the SC for upholding the High Court orders granting him bail in two cases filed over sedition and inciting the army.
