Ill-gotten wealth

Staff Correspondent

Former ministers Khandker Mosharraf Hossain, Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Chittagong mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury and AL leader Obaidul Quader secured bail from the High Court on Thursday.

The HC bench of justices Sharifuddin Chaklader and Md Imdadul Haque Azad granted bail to Mosharraf Hossain for two months in a land purchase case and Altaf Hossain Chowdhury for the same period in a case filed for amassing illegal wealth.

The bench put freezes on proceedings of the cases for two months.

It also asked the government and the Anticorruption Commission to explain why the cases would not be cancelled.

The same bench also granted two months' bail to Awami League joint general secretary Obaidul Quader in a case filed for earning illegal wealth.

A separate bench, of justices Khademul Islam Chowdhury and Mashuk Hossain Ahmed, granted three months' bail to Chittagong mayor Mohiuddin in a tax-dodging case.

The court ordered his passport to be returned and asked the government and the National Board of Revenue to explain within six weeks why the case against him should not be cancelled.

The NBR filed the case against Mohiuddin with a Chittagong special judge's court on July 5 on charges of dodging Tk 27.58 lakh in tax.
