Monday, 20 October 2008
The High Court (HC) Sunday granted bail for three months to detained Awami League (AL) presidium member and former state minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir in a tax evasion case, reports UNB.
A division bench comprising Justice ABM Khairul Haque and Justice MA Hye passed the order upon a petition challenging the validity of the tax evasion case against Alamgir.
The Court also stayed for three weeks the case proceedings and issued a rule upon the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to explain in six weeks why the case should not be declared illegal.
On September 21, the NBR filed a case against Alamgir for concealing information of his wealth and dodging income tax of about Tk 5.31 million (53.15 lakh) during the period from 2002 to 2007.
Assistant Tax Commissioner AKM Shahadat Hossain filed the case in the court of special judge Azizul Huq.
Barrister Rafique-ul Huq appeared for Alamgir, who is already in prison in connection with other cases.
