ACC notice asking Sigma for wealth info valid: HC
The High Court yesterday declared valid the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC)'s notice that asked Sigma Huda, wife of former minister Barrister Nazmul Huda, to submit her wealth statement to it in seven days.
There is no legal bar for the ACC to sue Sigma for not submitting the wealth statement to the commission following the HC verdict, ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said.
After the notice, Sigma filed a writ petition challenging its legality.
The HC on January 27, 2009 stayed the effectiveness of the ACC notice and issued a rule asking the ACC to explain why the notice should not be declared illegal.
The HC conclude hearing on the rule on August 14, 2016 and kept the petition waiting for verdict. Barrister Nazmul Huda appeared for Sigma.
