Former legal adviser Asif Nazrul has explained the reasons for the delay in the trial of the murder case of Sharif Osman Bin Hadi, spokesperson of Inquilab Manch. In a Facebook post on Sunday, he said that although he had expected the trial to begin during his time in government, the proceedings have not yet started. The investigating officer submitted a charge sheet against 17 people on January 6 this year.

Nazrul stated that the plaintiff was dissatisfied with the charge sheet and filed a petition of objection, prompting the court to order further investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). As the CID’s investigation is still ongoing, the trial has not begun. He added that once the CID submits its report and if no further objection is raised, the trial can proceed.

He further noted that if the plaintiff again objects or if the investigation remains incomplete, the trial could face additional delays. Nazrul emphasized that while investigation and trial processes are complex, collective goodwill can help ensure timely and fair justice.
