The High Court on Sunday rejected the bail petition of Destiny Group President and former army chief Lt Gen (retd) M Harun-Ar-Rashid in connection with two money laundering cases.
An HC bench rejected two bail petitions saying that the petitions were not filed following appropriate way.
The court said Gen Harun would have to seek bail challenging the lower court order that on October 11 had rejected his bail prayer.
Harun’s lawyer Abdul Matin Khasru told reporters that they would file bail petition later in the day as per the HC directive.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury Manik and Justice Farid Ahmed on Sunday rejected the petition.
On October 11, a Dhaka court sent Harun to jail in connection with the money laundering cases after rejecting his bail prayer.
Harun on the same day filed 2 separate bail petitions to the HC through his lawyer.
After the central bank requested Anti-Corruption Commission to look into the Destiny scams, the watchdog on July 31 filed cases against the group's 22 top officials over the Tk 3,285.26 crore laundering.
In the cases, Harun, an ex-chief of army staff, was shown as a Destiny Group director and Rafiqul Amin as managing director. But Destiny's documents showed them as president and chairman respectively.
