The High Court today questioned the authority of Jashore Children's Court Judge Mahmuda Khatun for sentencing a child to rigorous imprisonment in a case filed under the Explosive Substances Act.
The court asked Judge Mahmuda to show causes in writing within a month under what authority her court had sentenced the child to rigorous imprisonment for three years and two years (concurrently) in two sections of the Explosive Substances Act although there is no provision for children's court to sentence a child to rigorous imprisonment.
