sc upheld hc verdict
Stay on Khaleda’s trial upheld
The High Court’s stay order on the trial proceedings against the BNP Chief Khaleda Zia in four separate vandalism and arson cases will remain in force for the next two weeks.
Arrest, Detention, Remand / No more blanket powers for cops
The police have finally lost the century-old wide discretionary powers concerning arrest, detention in custody and remand, as the Supreme Court yesterday upheld a High Court verdict against the arbitrary use of their sweeping authority. The HC verdict delivered on April 7, 2003 asked the government to amend some provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) of 1898, which provided the police with the controversial powers, for their inconsistency with the constitution.
