Lawyer Mahbubuddin Khokon represented Rakibur while Additional Attorney General SM Muneer and Assistant Attorney General Md Mizanur Rahman appeared for the state. The High Court subsequently put a freeze on the case proceedings on Aug 23, 2017 and issued a rule on the dismissal of the case. As it is an old case, the court has ordered its disposal in three months. Therefore, he does not need to be tried in a juvenile court,” Deputy Attorney General Mizannur Rahman told reporters.
