The High Court (HC) yesterday stayed for three months the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) notice asking the Daily Amar Desh acting editor Mahmudur Rahman to submit his wealth statement to it (ACC). An HC bench also issued a rule upon the ACC to explain within four weeks why it should not be restricted by an order of injunction on the proceedings of the notice against Mahmudur Rahman. The bench of Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Jahangir Hossain came up with the order upon an appeal filed by Mahmudur. He recently filed the appeal against a lower court order that on April 21 dismissed his application for injunction on the proceedings of the ACC notice. Earlier on April 13, the ACC issued the notice asking Mahmudur Rahman to submit his wealth statement within seven days to the commission. Barrister Abdur Razzaq appeared for the petitioner, while Khurshid Alam Khan argued for ACC.
