The court also set March 24 for submitting a report on the execution of the arrest warrant.
Another accused in the cheque dishonour case, Imdadul Haque, surrendered before the court on the day and was granted bail, said the court鈥檚 bench assistant Atikur Rahman.
The case was filed by IFIC Bank Limited relationship officer Shahibur Rahman on December 15, 2024 against four individuals, including Shakib Al Hasan, with the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
After recording the complainant鈥檚 statement, additional chief metropolitan magistrate Mahbubul Haque summoned the four accused to appear before the court on Sunday.
The four accused are Shakib Al Hasan, chairman of Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Limited, Gazi Sahagir Hossain, managing director of the company, and Imdadul Haque and Malaika Begum, its directors.
According to the case documents, Shakib Al Hasan Agro Farm Limited authorities took loans from the Banani branch of IFIC Bank on different occasions for business purposes.
Later, the company issued the bank two cheques for Tk 4.15 crore in total against the loans, but the cheques were dishonoured due to insufficient funds.
