In an order, the High Court (HC) on Tuesday ordered that one of two Japan-born daughters would stay with her father, Bangladesh-born United States citizen Imran Sharif, and another with Japanese mother Nakano Eriko.
Of them, the elder daughter will stay with her mother while the younger one with her father, the single bench of the HC comprised of Justice Mamnoon Rahman passed the order after accepting a review appeal in this regard.
Senior lawyer Barrister Akthtar Imam, Rashna Imam and Advocate Nasima Akter Lovely stood for engineer Sharif in the court while Barrister Azmalul Hossain accompanied by Advocate Mohammad Shishir Monir represented the Japanese physician mother.
Lawyer Shishir Monir told reporters that the parents would have access to meet their children.
Earlier on January 29 last year, a Dhaka family court in a verdict ordered that the daughters will stay with their mother.
Durdana Rahman, judge of Dhakas Second Additional Assistant Judge and Family Court passed the order.
Later, father Sharif submitted a petition with Dhaka District and Sessions Judge Court challenging the family court order. On July 16 of the same year, when the District and Session Judge Court rejected the fathers appeal seeking his druthers custody he submitted another petition with the HC.
