DHAKA, Nov 2, 2020 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today dropped a writ
petition filed for Deputy Attorney General Jannatul Ferdoushi Rupa,
challenging a notice of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to appear before
it for interrogation, from its cause list.
“Out of the list,” said the order passed by the High Court division
virtual bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Ahmed Sohel
today.
Senior lawyer JI Khan Panna and Suraiya Begum appeared for the DAG,
while Deputy Attorney General AKM Amin Uddin Manik stood for the state.
Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan was present during the hearing for the anti-graft
body.
“The High Court has declined to hear the writ and dropped it from its
cause list,” Advocate Khan told newsmen.
The ACC on October 28 served the notice to DAG Jannatul Ferdoushi Rupa,
asking her to appear before it on November 4 with all necessary documents.
She is accused of amassing illegal wealth by arranging bail for
different accused including GK Shamim by abusing power and forgery.
