Basic bank graft case
SC orders businessman to surrender
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday directed businessman Faizun Nabi Chowdhury, managing director of Farsi International, to surrender before a trial court within 48 hours in connection with the BASIC Bank graft case.
The SC also asked the trial court to take action against the accused if he failed to comply with the order.
A four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order after holding hearing on a plea by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) seeking cancellation of Chowdhurys bail, granted by the High Court.
The Supreme Court asked him to surrender before the trial court within 48 hours after canceling his bail, ACC counsel Khurshid Alam Khan told reporters after the apex court order.
The ACC filed two corruption cases against Faizun Nabi with Gulshan Police Station on September 21 and 22 last year on charges of corruption.
On May 29 this year, the High Court division bench comprising Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice Kazi Md. Ejarul Haque Akondo granted bail to Chowdhury in two graft cases.
