HC quashes case against Mohiuddin
The High Court yesterday scrapped the proceedings of a corruption case filed against former mayor of Chittagong City Corporation (CCC) ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury in 2007.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case against Mohiuddin and three others on charge of illegally drawing Tk 1.47 crore from the city corporation fund to launch Bijoy TV, a private television channel.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik and Justice Farid Ahmed delivered the verdict yesterday after hearing a petition filed by Mohiuddin in 2008 for quashing the proceedings against him.
The court quashed the proceedings on the ground that the charges brought against Mohiddin were not proved.
In 2008, the HC had stayed the proceedings of the case against Mohiuddin and issued a rule upon the ACC and government to explain why the proceedings should not be quashed.
