The High Court (HC) on Tuesday fixed July 19 to pass order on anticipatory bail of former judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court Justice Md Zainul Abedin, who is facing a corruption allegation.
The HC Bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Dr K M Hafizul Alam passed the order after hearing a petition, seeking time by ACC lawyer.
The Bench was scheduled for giving the verdict on the bail petition yesterday. But it deferred the date until July 19 for announcing the judgment after hearing a time prayer
moved by ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan. But no reason was given in the time prayer. The HC issued a rule on Justice Md Zaunul Abedin’s bail on July 10 in 2017. But the ACC appealed against the HC order. Then the Appellate Division ordered the HC to dispose the rule. So, the HC heard the rule and fixed July 19 to pass order.
The ACC sent a notice on July 18 in 2010 to the former judge of the Appellate Division Justice Md Zainul Abedin seeking the statement of his wealth. On July 25 in 2010, the judge filed a writ petition with the HC challenging the legality of the notice. But the HC rejected the writ petition as it was not pressed.
The ACC sent another notice on October 25 in 2010. He submitted all the documents responding the notice. After a long time, the ACC sought explanation from the judge in the month of January of 2017. A newspaper also published a report on the topic in June in 2017. Then the judge filed a petition seeking anticipatory bail to avoid the possibility of arrest and harassment.
The HC on July 10 in 2017 granted him bail till completion of the investigation of the allegation and issued a rule on the bail.
