The Dhaka District Judge’s Court today upheld the family court verdict that allowed Eriko Nakano, a Japanese citizen, to have custody of her two children.
Judge AHM Habibur Rahman Bhuiyan dismissed the appeal filed by their father, Bangladesh-born US citizen Imran Sharif, on February 2.
Imran filed the appeal challenging the family court verdict that dismissed the case filed by him in February last year, seeking custody of his children, advocate Mohammad Shishir Manir, lawyer for Eriko said.
On January 29, Judge Durdana Rahman of Dhaka’s Second Assistant Judge and Family Court gave the custody of the children — Nakano Jasmine Malika, 11, and Nakano Laila Lina, 9 — to Eriko.
The court said it reached the decision, considering the wellbeing of the children.
The same court also dismissed the case filed by Imran Sharif on February 28 last year, seeking the custody of the children.
