The High Court has cancelled the lower court's order that granted bail to Rashedul Haque Chisty, son of the Mahbubul Haque Chisty, former chairman of the Audit Committee of Farmers Bank, in a corruption case.
On Wednesday, the bench of Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder canceled the bail order which was passed by the Tangail District and Session Judge Court on May 27.
During the hearing, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) lawyer Advocate Kurshid Alalm Khan said the lower court granted the bail without hearing from the ACC lawyer while Advocate Aminuddin joined the hearing on behalf of the accused.
On April 10, 2018, Rashedul and his father Mahbubul were arrested in connection with Tk159 crore laundering case, filed by the ACC.
Later, the ACC filed a total of five corruption cases including the money laundering one against Rashedul Haque Chishty, his father and several others.
