Shah Alam appeals against conviction
Detained Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan Shah Alam yesterday filed an appeal with the High Court (HC) against the trial court judgment that sentenced him to eight years' imprisonment in a tax evasion case.
Shah Alam in the appeal also sought bail from the HC in the case in which he was sent to jail Sunday.
The HC bench of Justice Md Shamsul Huda and Justice Abu Bakar Siddiquee is likely to hear the appeal today.
Earlier on Sunday, the Special Judge Court-3 led by Judge (in-charge) Kader Newaz ordered to send Shah Alam to jail upon his surrender.
An anti-graft tribunal on September 30, 2007, handed down eight-year imprisonment to Shah Alam in the case filed by NBR.
