Subject Matter:<\/strong> <\/td>\nThis case was filed challenging the unlawful detention of the prisoners languishing in Dhaka Central Jail despite having served out their terms of conviction. According to law, after pronouncing conviction the concerned court will send the conviction warrant to the jail authority. But due to negligence of court staffs and jail authorities the said conviction warrants did not reach the concerned jail and many prisoners could not be released from jail, even after serving out their terms of conviction. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Court’s Response:<\/strong><\/td>\nThe Court issued a rule nisi upon the respondents on April 16, 2005 to show cause as to why the continued detention of the persons in Dhaka Central Jail in violation of their fundamental rights as guaranteed under Articles 31, 32, 35 (1) and 36 of the Constitution, in spite of serving out the terms of their respective sentences, should not be declared to be without lawful authority and why independent commission should not be appointed to conduct an inquiry on the matter. The Court also directed the respondents to submit a list of such prisoners.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Current Status:<\/strong> <\/td>\nJail authority submitted the report and the case is now pending for final hearing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
