The Appellate division of the Supreme Court yesterday upheld the suspension order of Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) mayor Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul issued by the Local Government Ministry, reports UNB. A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice SK Sinha passed the order. On May 7, the Local Government Ministry issued the order suspending the RCC mayor after police submitted chargesheets against him in four cases of vandalism and arson attacks. Following a petition moved by the RCC mayor, the High Court on May 28 stayed the ministry’s order. Later, the State filed a petition with Chamber Judge’s Court of the Appellate Division seeking a stay on the HC order. On June 4, Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Hasan Fayez Siddique stayed the High Court order.
