HC Correspondent: The High Court (HC) has summoned all the Judicial documents of the case of Haji Mohammad Selim, MP, in which he was sentenced to 13-years of imprisonment.
A virtual High Court bench comprising Justice Mohammad Moinul Islam Chowdhury and Justice AKM Zahirul Haque passed the order on Wednesday.
The documents will be sent to the High Court by the Dhaka Special Judge Court-7 by December 6.
Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan on behalf of ACC was present in the court.
Advocate Saeed Ahmed Raja, lawyer of the defendant was also present at the court.
Earlier on Monday, November 9, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) submitted an application for the hearing of the case.
On October 24, 2007, ACC filed a case against Haji Selim with Lalbagh Police Station alleging illegal acquisition of assets. He was sentenced to 13 years in prison on April 27, 2008.

On October 25, 2009, Haji Selim appealed to the High Court against the verdict.

On January 2, 2011, the High Court quashed his sentence accepting his appeal.

ACC later appealed against the High Court verdict. Following the hearing of the appeal, the judgment of the High Court was quashed on January 12, 2015 and the Appellate Division directed a hearing in the High Court again.
