An apex court here Tuesday stayed the four-week anticipatory bail granted by High Court to Laxmipur Model Union Parishad's chairman Selim Khan and ordered him to surrender before it by September 27.
Justice M Enayetur Rahim of the Chamber Court of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court passed the order this morning.
Defence attorney Advocate Momtaz Uddin Fakir and Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) lawyer Advocate M Khurshid Alam Khan were present at the court.
The High Court on September 14 granted the four-week anticipatory bail to Selim Khan in a case lodged over amassing illegal wealth.
The ACC pleaded to stay the bail proceedings arguing that the defendant was not eligible to secure the bail due to the gravity of his offence.
On August 1, the ACC filed the case against Selim Khan for acquiring illegal wealth of Taka 34.53 crore.
He is also accused of concealing information of the wealth of Taka around 67 lakh.
