The High Court on Monday issued a ruling asking the concerned government bodies to explain in three weeks as to why the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) notification that ended an inquiry process against a ruling party man in Tangail on charge of grabbing T R Khbikha fund should not be declared illegal.
ACC chairman, commissioners, director (observation and evolution), deputy director
(inquiry and investigation) and deputy director of Tangail district integrated office have been asked to comply with the ruling.
The HC Bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice K M Zahid Sarwar passed the order after holding hearing a writ petition filed in this regard.
Barrister M Ashraful Islam, a Supreme Court lawyer and also a resident of Delduar upazila in Tangail district, filed the writ petition on October 3.
Advocate Syed Mamun Mahbub appeared in the court on behalf of the writ petitioner, while advocate Sazzad Hossain represented the ACC.
Barrister M Ashraful Islam said, “An allegation of embezzling Tk 2.7 million of a TR and Khabikha project was raised against Delduar upazila Awami League general secretary M Shibly Sadik. Later some reports were also published in different newspapers regarding the issue.”
“Following the reports the ACC started an investigation over the allegation and after completion of the investigation the ACC on January 25 in 2018 dropped the name of Shibly Sadik from the charge and declared an end of the inquiry process.”
Later Barrister M Ashraful Islam filed a writ petition with the HC challenging the notification of the ACC that ended the inquiry process against Shibly Sadik.
It was said in the petition that Shibly Sadik became filthy rich in a blink of eye but all of his assets and property were illegally earned by corruption, embezzlement and muscle power.
