Writ Seeking HC Direction for Inquiry over ACC Official's Termination Filed

Ten lawyers of the Supreme Court today filed a writ pleading for High Court (HC) direction for independent inquiry over the recent termination of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) official Sharif Uddin.

The ten lawyers are- Mohammad Shishir Manir, Rezwana Ferdous, Jamilur Rahman Khan, Uttam Kumar Banik, Mostafizur Rahman, Md Tarekul Islam, Mir Osman Bin Nasim, Syed Mohammad Raihan, Md Saiful Islam, and Mohammad Nawab Ali.

The ACC Chairman, secretary, commissioner (inquiry), commissioner (investigation), director (administration and human resource), and sacked official Sharif Uddin were made respondents in the writ.

"We have not filed the writ on behalf of anyone. We just want independent inquiry over the allegations, counter-allegations from both sides that came after the termination of Sharif Uddin. We want the real truth to come out," Advocate Mohammad Shishir Manir told newsmen.
