Writ in HC for action against ex-army chief Aziz
High Court
A writ petition has been filed
with the High Court Division seeking its directive on the Anti-Corruption
Commission (ACC) to take steps about reported corruption allegations against
former army chief General (retired) Aziz Ahmed.
A journalist named Md Sohail Rana, son of Yousuf Ali from Kaprangapara village under Panchagar Sadar Police Station of Panchagar, submitted the petition to the High Court on Monday through Supreme Court lawyer AM Jamiul Hoque Faisal.
In the petition, he prayed to the apex court to pass an order on the ACC to submit a report before this court about the steps taken against Aziz Ahmed.
Petitioner Sohail Rana, who introduced himself as “currently employed as message editor in a daily newspaper” in the petition, cited reports published about Aziz Ahmed in the Daily Jugantor on May 31, the Daily Kalerkantha on May 31 and in the daily Manabzamin on June 5 this year.
Lawyer Jamil Hoque Faisal told the media on Tuesday that the High Court may hear the petition next week. - Special Correspondent
