Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Dilruba Afroz passed the order on Sunday (18 August) after lawyer Imrul Hasan filed the petition in the court.
"The court dismissed the petition as there was no material to file a case," Imrul said.
Justice Khairul Haque was elevated to the Appellate Division in July 2009.
In September of 2010, Hasina government appointed him as the head of the judiciary, superseding two senior judges – Justice MA Matin and Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman.
