The court also fixed February 6 for further hearing on a rule.
A bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader passed the suo moto order following a newspaper report under a headline “Wrong accused in jail in 33 cases: Sir I am Jahlam, not Salek.”
Supreme Court lawyer Amit Das Gupta placed the news report before the High Court.
The report said Jahlam, a jute mill worker, has been serving in jail in place of real accused Abu Salek in 33 cases of embezzling Tk 18 crore from Sonali Bank.
