Tuesday, 4 November 2008
The High Court (HC) Monday asked ex-state minister for energy AKM Mosharraf Hossain, a charge-sheeted accused in the Boropukuria coalmine graft case, to surrender to trial court by November 9, reports UNB.
Passing the orders, a division bench, comprising Justice M Mozammel Hossain and Justice Afzal Hossain Ahmed, also asked the law enforcers to refrain from arresting or harassing Mosharraf, also a former BNP MP, during the period.
The HC orders came following a petition filed by Mosharraf on his surrender to it seeking an anticipatory bail.
Meanwhile, the bench, after closing the admissibility hearings, fixed Tuesday (today) for orders on separate petitions for quashing the case against four former ministers facing the graft charges along with principal accused ex-premier and BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
