Samrat to stay in jail as SC rejects plea
Thursday, 11 August 2022
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has upheld a High Court order cancelling the bail granted to expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat in a graft case, reports UNB.
A three-member bench of the Appellate Division, led by Justice Md Nuruzzaman, rejected the leave-to-appeal petition of the expelled Jubo League leader on Wednesday.
"So, Samrat has to remain behind bars," said advocate Khurshid Alam, a counsel for the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
Advocate Munsurul Haque Chowdhury appeared for Samrat.
On May 18, the High Court rejected the bail petition of Samrat in the case. The HC also asked him to surrender before the lower court within seven days.
