The High Court (HC) has scheduled Wednesday to deliver the order on a writ petition over the release of an innocent Bangladeshi citizen, Badal Farazi, 28, who was a victim of miscarriage of justice in India.
An HC bench of Justice JBM Hasan and Justice Khairul Alam fixed the date after taking the hearing on the writ petition on Tuesday. Barristers, Humayun Kabir Pallab and Kawser filed the writ petition before the HC on Jul 8.
The writ also asked why the confinement of Badal Farazi should not be termed illegal.
The secretaries of home, law, foreign affairs and IG prison were made the defendants in the writ. The state lawyer, Deputy Attorney General Masud Hasan Chowdhury Parag, was present in the court during the order.
We will look into the case documents; the order will be delivered on Wednesday after holding the argument, the court said.
Hailing from Mongla port area, Badal Farazi, went to India on Jul 13, 2008, via the Benapole border with a valid passport and visa. Soon after entering Haridaspur, he was arrested by the Indian border force, BSF, over a murder on the Indian side.
Indian police had been searching for a person called Badal Singh over the killing of a senior citizen at the Amar Colony in Delhi on May 6, 2008.
Badal, whose academic life ended after class eight, did not have enough English or Hindi to make the BSF understand that he was the wrong person.

In 2015, Badal was handed life sentence by a Delhi court. The hapless man, with the help from the Bangladesh High Commission, challenged the verdict at the Supreme Court, which dismissed the case.

Later, an Indian social worker, Rahul Kapoor began a crusade to have Badal released. Rahul, a Phd student at Delhi University, met Badal when he went to Tihar jail to work for inmates’ rehabilitation.
