The High Court on Sunday ordered the Home Secretary to provide necessary manpower and logistic support to conduct mobile courts. The HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order when the executive magistrate Sarwoer Alam of Rab headquarters appeared before it responding to a summon.

Advocate Masud Hasan Chowdhury Porag stood for Sarwoer Alam while Attorney General Mahbubey Alam and Deputy Attorney General Amit Talukder represented the state. On November 18,Sarwoer Alam appeared before the court and sought apology for his failure to provide the certified copy of a verdict ever after four months of announcement of the verdict.

Alam informed the court that it was delayed due to scarcity of logistics and insufficient manpower . He said that he has to write the verdict returning to Dhaka after conducting mobile courts in different places on the same day. On July 18, a mobile court of the Rab headquarters, led by its executive magistrate Sarwoer Alam, sentenced Mizan Mia to one year imprisonment.

Mizan, the director of a cattle feed processing factory in Siddhirganj of Narayanganj, sought certified copy of the verdict to appeal against the verdict. On November 17, Mizan filed a writ petition challenging the inactivity of the mobile court as it could not provide the copy after four months of the verdict.
