Staff Reporter: District and Sessions judge of Pirojpur, Abdul Mannan, has been stand released on charges of corruption on Tuesday and has been attached to the law ministry.
According to the Law ministry officials, it received corruption allegations against the Session Judge earlier. Sources also said that departmental proceedings against him were underway.
After getting Supreme Court’s approval, the ministry took the decision.

Earlier in the day, the court of Judge Abdul Mannan ordered to send former Awami League lawmaker AKMA Awal and his wife Laila Parvin to jail, rejecting their bail prayers in three corruption cases.
The ex-MP of Pirojpur-1, also president of district Awami League, was accused in three cases filed over misappropriating khas (government) land while his wife was accused in one of the cases by the Anti-corruption commission (ACC).
Judge Abdul Mannan passed the rejection order when Awal and his wife appeared before it with bail prayers.
After the court rejected the bail plea, supporters of the AL district President started demonstrating at the court premises.
Later, Awal and Laila Parvin received bail from another court of the district.
Joint District and Sessions Judge Nahid Nasrin, who has been given the responsibility to discharge as acting district and sessions judge of Pirojpur, granted bail to Awal and his wife after they moved an application for reviewing the bail rejection order passed by Judge Abdul Mannan.
