AD rejects High Court order clearing Nazmul Huda from corruption charges

The Appellate Division (AD) of the Supreme Court (SC) on September 7 rejected the High Court (HC) order that acquitted former BNP leader Barrister Nazmul Huda of a graft case filed against him on charges of acquiring illegal wealth.
A four-member AD bench led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order upon an appeal filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) challenging the HC order.
Earlier on April 3, 2008, a special court set up a Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban sentenced Huda to 12 years in jail and fined Taka one crore, in default, he would have to suffer one more year in jail.
On August 18 in 2010, the HC cleared Huda from the graft charges upon his appeal challenging the special court order. Later, ACC lawyer Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan filed an appeal against the HC order. (Source: BSS, September 7, 2015)
