Let court decide on Maya: Dr Kamal

Senior lawyer Dr Kamal Hossain has said the court should decide whether Disaster Management and Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya could continue to hold his ministerial position after his conviction for corruption charges was upheld, reports bdnews24.com.

"I should not comment on a matter still pending with the court," he said in reply to queries from journalists after a programme in Dhaka on Friday.

 "I think none is above the law. The High Court can give the correct rule if one approaches it for the answer."

 On June 14, the Supreme Court quashed the High Court order acquitting Maya of graft charges in a case filed in 2008.

 It also ordered fresh hearings on the case.
