The High Court on Monday quashed all the proceedings of three corruption cases filed against former Chittagong City Corporation mayor ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury.
The HC bench of Justice Borhan Uddin and Justice Mahmudul Haque handed down the verdict after holding hearings of three separate petitions filed by Mohiuddin in September 2004.
Advocate Hari Sadhan Dev Brahman moved the case on Monday on behalf of the former mayor.
On November 12, 2003, now defunct Bureau of Anti-Corruption filed three separate cases against Mohiuddin on charge of misappropriating a total of Tk. 9 lakh from the holding tax of Nupur Cinema Hall in Chittagong.
The three cases were filed for misappropriating Tk. 3 lakh on three occasions.
Later in September 18, 2004, the HC stayed the proceedings of the cases and issued three separate rules upon the government to explain why the proceedings of the cases should not be quashed.
After holding hearing on the rules, the HC bench on Monday delivered the verdict.
