SC Stays HC Order
Mahmudur has to submit wealth info
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday stayed for 10 days a High Court (HC) order that stayed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) notice asking the daily Amar Desh acting editor Mahmudur Rahman to submit his wealth statement to it (ACC).
After hearing a petition filed by the ACC, chamber judge of the Appellate Division Justice Md Muzammel Hossain passed the order.
The chamber judge also asked the ACC to file a regular leave to appeal petition with the apex court against the HC order during this period.
Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan, lawyer for the ACC, told The Daily Star that Mahmudur has to submit his wealth statement to the ACC as per its earlier notice following the chamber judge's order.
The ACC issued the notice on April 13 asking Mahmudur to submit his wealth statement to the commission within seven days.
Following a writ petition filed by Mahmudur, the HC on April 27 stayed for three months the ACC notice and issued a rule upon the anti-crime watchdog to explain why its notice should not be declared illegal.
