Path clear to move ACC case against Khoka
The Supreme Court yesterday refused to stay a High Court verdict that allowed the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to proceed with a corruption case against former Dhaka City Corporation mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka and 12 high officials.
Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, chamber judge of the Appellate Division, passed a “no order” on a petition filed by the accused seeking stay on the HC verdict.
ACC counsel Khurshid Alam Khan said the “no order” meant the prayer of the accused had been refused and “there is no legal bar to continue investigation into the case."
On June 29, 2010, the ACC filed the case with Shahbagh Police Station on charges of irregularities in the recruitment of 49 officials and promotion of two officials in 2006.
