The High Court today paved way for a lower court to continue graft trial proceedings against Awami League lawmaker from Cox's Bazar Abdur Rahman Bodi.

Bench of Justice Mohammad Emdadul Haque and Justice Mohammad Khurshid Alam Sarker rejected Bodi's plea to scrap the trial proceedings.

They said the petition was not properly moved with the High Court.

"Now there is no legal bar to continue Bodi's trial in lower court," said Khurshid Alam Khan, a lawyer for Anti-Corrruption Commission (ACC).

The commission filed the case with Ramna Police Station on August 21 last year on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth over Tk 10 crore.

An influential leader in Cox's Bazar, Bodi is allegedly an infamous drug lord in Cox's Bazar area.

ভোটের অধিকার আদায়ে জনগণকে রাস্তায় নামতে হবে: ফখরুল

‘যুবকরা এখনো জানে না ভোট কী। আমাদের আওয়ামী লীগের ভাইরা ভোটটা দিয়েছেন, বলে দিয়েছেন—তোরা আসিবার দরকার নাই, মুই দিয়ে দিনু। স্লোগান ছিল—আমার ভোট আমি দিব, তোমার ভোটও আমি দিব।’
