The High Court (HC) will deliver its judgment on a rule today (Wednesday) on compensation to Jaha Alam who languished in jail for three years instead of the real accused in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission for misappropriating Sonali Bank money, reports UNB.

The bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader fixed the date on Tuesday after hearing law-point arguments from both sides.
