Case against Moudud
HC stays proceedings
The High Court (HC) yesterday stayed the proceedings of a corruption case filed against former BNP law minister Moudud Ahmed for six months.
Following a petition submitted by Moudud, the court yesterday also issued a rule upon the government to explain in four weeks why the proceedings of the case should not be quashed.
The HC bench of Justice AKM Fazlur Rahman and Justice Krishna Debnath came up with the order after hearing the petition yesterday.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case with Gulshan Police Station on September 16, 2007, saying that Moudud amassed wealth worth over Tk 7.38 crore through illegal means and concealed information about wealth worth over Tk 4.40 crore from the commission.
Moudud recently filed the petition with the HC for quashing the proceedings of the case against him.
