Legal notice served on Disaster Management Minister Maya
Tuesday, 30 June 2015
A legal notice has been served on Disaster Management and Relief Minister Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya. It has questioned the legal basis of his continuing as a minister and an MP after his acquittal from corruption charges was quashed in court. Supreme Court Lawyer Yunus Ali Akhand sent the notice on Tuesday. The notice asked Maya to reply within 24 hours under what authority he was still retaining the office of minister and that of MP. A writ petition would be filed against him if he failed to reply within stipulated time, the notice said. On June 14, the Supreme Court quashed the High Court order acquitting Maya of graft charges in a case filed in 2008, according to a news agency.
