Thursday, 9 October 2008


The vacation chamber judge of the Supreme Court Wednesday dismissed a petition for anticipatory bail filed by Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general and former minister Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujaheed in the Boropukuria coalmine graft case, reports UNB.
Emerging from the chamber of Justice M Joynul Abedin, the counsel for Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) Khurshid Alam Khan, who opposed the bail petition, told the news agency that Mujaheed's petition was "dismissed as being not pressed."
Barrister Abdur Razzaq, the counsel for Mujaheed did not agree with the opinion of the counsel for the ACC, and told the journalists that after making a brief submission "I didn't press for it."
