The Supreme Court on Sunday upheld a High Court order that stayed suspension of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Mayor Moniruzzaman Moni.
A bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order after dismissing a petition filed by the government seeking a stay on the High Court order.
Former Attorney General A J Mohammad Ali and Advocate Anisur Rahman Khan represented Moniruzzaman in the court.
Anisur Rahman Khan said, following the SC order, there is no bar for
Moniruzzaman to perform duty as the mayor of Khulna City Corporation.
The government on November 2 last year suspended Moniruzzaman after a lower court accepted charge sheet pressed against him in a criminal case.
The HC on June 7 stayed the government order of his suspension in view of a writ petition. Then the government filed a leave to appeal petition with the SC seeking stay on the HC order.
