Faizee Case
CU to appeal against HC verdict


Chittagong University (CU) Syndicate in an emergency meeting yesterday decided to appeal to the Supreme Court (SC) Appellate Division against the High Court (HC) verdict that declared the cancellation of the LLB certificate of Justice Faisal Mahmud Faizee illegal.

The HC delivered the verdict on Monday stating that the CU's decision to cancel Faizee's LLB certificate in connection with his alleged tampering with the mark sheet was illegal.

CU Vice-chancellor (VC) Prof M Badiul Alam presided over the syndicate meeting.

Syndicate member Prof Helal Uddin Nizami said, "We hope to get justice at the Supreme Court."

He said, "We decided to cancel the LLB certificate of Justice Faizee based on three probe committee reports." He said Prof Shamsuddin, Prof Abu Saleh and Prof MA Hakim headed the committees.
