On Wednesday, December 18, Dhaka Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbubul Haque issued the summons, requiring them to appear in court on January 18. Court bench assistant Khandaker Shahriar Alam informed the media that the case was filed on December 15 by IFIC Bank’s relationship officer, Sahibur Rahman.
The accused include Shakib Al Hasan, his company Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm, the farm’s Managing Director Gazi Shahagir Hossain, Director Imdadul Haque, and Maleka Begum. Following the hearing, the court issued the summons against the accused.
According to the case details, Shakib’s Agro Farm took loans from IFIC Bank’s Banani branch for business purposes and issued two checks as repayment. However, the checks were dishonored due to insufficient funds. The checks amounted to approximately 41.5 million BDT.
Subsequently, IFIC Bank’s Banani branch sent a legal notice under the Negotiable Instruments Act through a daily newspaper, demanding repayment. After 30 days without a response, the bank filed the case in court.
