The Supreme Court (SC) has scrapped a corruption case against BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas for allocating plots for the journalists, reports BSS.

The three-member Appellate Division bench headed by Justice Jubair Rahman Chowdhury passed the order accepting an appeal submitted by Mirza Abbas and cancelled the High Court judgment on Wednesday.

Senior lawyer Joynul Abedin and Barrister Ruhul Kuddus Kajol moved for Mirza Abbas.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) in 2014 filed a case against former housing and public works minister Mirza Abbas for his alleged involvement in misappropriation of about Tk 155 million in allocating Rajuk plots for the journalists.

The then ACC Deputy Director (DD) Hamidul Hassan after completing his investigation on February 11 in 2015 submitted a charge sheet against five persons including Mirza Abbas. Later, the Special Judge Court-4 framed charges against Mirza Abbas and others on October 20 in 2017.
