HC verdict on Moudud's plea any day
The High Court will deliver verdict any day on a revision petition filed by former BNP law minister Moudud Ahmed challenging the trial proceedings of Niko corruption case against him.
The HC kept the petition as Curia Advisari Vult, a Latin legal term meaning verdict could be delivered anytime, after concluding hearing on the matter.
The Anti-Corruption Commission filed the Niko corruption case in December 2007 over charges that BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and several others abused power to award a gas exploration and extraction deal to Canadian company Niko when she was the prime minister between 2001 and 2006.
Former law minister Moudud Ahmed, former state minister for energy AKM Mosharraf Hossain, former acting energy secretary Khandaker Shahidul Islam, and Kashem Sharif, vice-president (South Asia) of Niko Resources Bangladesh Ltd, were also sued.
