SC hearing on Amir Khasru's petition on Oct 1

The Supreme Court (SC) on October 1 will hear BNP leader Amir Khasru's petition seeking stay on High Court's order that cleared Anti-Corruption Commission's way to quiz him over graft allegations.

Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice M Imman Ali fixed the date after a brief hearing yesterday after the BNP leader filed the petition seeking a stay order.

The HC order will remain in force until the apex court passes any stay order, ACC's lawyer Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan said.

Barrister Moudud Ahmed appeared for Amir Khasru.

The HC on Sunday rejected the writ petition filed by Amir Khasru

and cleared the way for ACC to quiz him in connection with corruption allegations.
