A formal trial has begun against evaly’s owner in a case of check fraud. The proceedings began with the filing of a complaint by Dhaka’s Sixth Joint Metropolitan Sessions Judge Humayun Kabir on Thursday, March 28. Today in the court, he filed a complaint against the Managing Director (MD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of e-commerce company Evaly Mohammad Russell and his wife and Chairman of the company Shamima Nasreen.
The court issued an arrest warrant against them as they were absconding at the time of filing the complaint.
Advocate Md. Tofazzal Hossain, the plaintiff in the case Md. Mia Hossain said that the day was fixed for framing the charge of this case in the court today. But as the accused were not present, the court framed charges and issued warrants against them. Evidence will be taken at a later date.
A person named Tofazzal Hossain filed the case on December 9, 2021, alleging check fraud.
According to the complaint of the case, after seeing the offer of sale of motorcycles at a special discount from the company of the defendants, Evaly.com, the plaintiff ordered a motorcycle on February 26, 2021 by paying Tk 1 lakh 49 thousand 635. The plaintiff was supposed to deliver the motorcycle within 45 days of the order. Otherwise, he will pay Tk 250,000 to the plaintiff for the price of the motorcycle.
As the defendants could not deliver the motorcycle even after the stipulated time, on June 28 of the same year, a City Bank check of Tk 250,000 was issued to the plaintiff by the signature of Senior Manager Finance and Manager Finance on behalf of Evaly.com Limited. The check was dishonored when he went to bank to withdraw the money from the bank.
Later, the plaintiff sent a legal notice to the defendants and urged them to pay the amount within 30 days. However, as they did not pay the money, the plaintiff did not have any other option but to file a case in the court.
