The High Court today called for the record of a corruption case in which lawmaker and Awami League leader Haji Mohammad Salim was sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment.

The HC ordered the Special Judge's Court-7 of Dhaka to send all the relevant documents of the corruption case against Haji Salim to it by December 7.

The HC bench of Justice Md Moinul Islam Chowdhury and Justice AKM Zahirul Huq also set December 7 for holding rehearing on the appeal filed by Haji Salim, challenging the trial court verdict that sentenced him to 13 years' imprisonment.

The bench came up with the order following a prayer moved by ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan for setting a date for rehearing the appeal of Haji Salim.
