HC refuses to hear Amir Khasru's petition

A High Court bench yesterday refused to hear a writ petition filed by BNP leader Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury challenging Anti-Corruption Commission's (ACC) notices issued against him for interrogation over graft allegations.

Following the HC's refusal, Amir Khasru will have to appear before the ACC on September 10 for quizzing, ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said.

The bench of Justice Borhanuddin and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman also dropped the petition from the hearing list, he said.

On August 16, ACC asked Khasru to appear before it over the allegations.

On August 28, he sought one month time to collect necessary documents. He filed the petition on September 3 seeking stay on the notices.
