Hearing on charge framing against Engr Mosharraf Feb 3
A Dhaka court yesterday fixed February 3 for hearing on charge framing against former housing and public works minister Engineer Mosharraf Hossain in connection with a graft case filed against him in August 2002.
Judge (in charge) Mohammad Jahangir Hossain of the Special Court for Dhaka Division set the date after Mosharraf appeared before it.
The trial proceedings against former forest and environment minister and now Deputy Leader of the House Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury was earlier quashed following an order of the higher court.
The case was stayed following an order from the High Court (HC). Later, the HC vacated the stay order and ordered to continue its trial proceedings.
According to the prosecution, it was alleged that Mosharraf while he was in charge of housing and public works ministry, by using power and violating rules and provisions of the Rajuk, allotted five kathas of land to Sajeda at Banani in the city even though she had another plot at Nikunja.
