A Dhaka court on Wednesday issued summons against Unilever Bangladesh Limited in connection with an arbitration case filed by Agrani Trading, a former distributor of the company.
The order was passed by the Dhaka District Judge’s Court following an admission hearing.
The defendants named in the case are the Managing Director of Unilever Bangladesh Limited, Unilever Consumer Care Limited Managing Director Md Naharul Islam Molla, and Unilever Bangladesh Limited Finance Director Zinnia Tanzina Huq.
Earlier, on August 29 last year, Md Salauddin Ferdous, a commercial executive of Agrani Trading, filed the arbitration suit with the Dhaka District Judge’s Court.
Meanwhile, another arbitration case filed by Masud and Brothers, also a former distributor of Unilever Bangladesh Limited, under the Arbitration Act is scheduled for further hearing.
Previously, on January 21, another Dhaka court issued arrest warrants against Md Naharul Islam Molla and four other senior officials of Unilever Bangladesh Limited in a fraud case filed by Masud and Brothers.
The other accused in that case are Unilever Bangladesh Limited Finance Director Zinnia Tanzina Huq, Area Manager (Central South Region) Kaiser Mahmud Chowdhury, Senior Area Manager (Wari) M Shoaib Kamal, and Cluster Head (Central South Cluster) Syed Ziqrul Bin Zamir.
