SC upholds Moudud's bail order
Monday, 17 November 2008
The Appellate Division (AD) of the Supreme Court (SC) Sunday upheld the High Court (HC) decision granting three months' ad interim bail to BNP leader and former law minister Barrister Moudud Ahmed in two separate cases, reports BSS.
A two-member HC bench on September 8 issued the order of bail after hearing separate writ petitions challenging the legality of the cases.
Moudud was accused of dodging tax and depositing money in different banks through FDR using several fake names.
The HC also stayed the trial proceedings of the cases for three months and asked the authorities concerned to show cause why the cases would not be declared illegal and without lawful authority.
