Moudud to leave his Gulshan house

The Supreme Court's Appellate Division on Tuesday granted a leave-to-appeal petition filed by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) against a High Court order for mutation of the land in the name of Moudud Ahmed’s brother.

With the order, Moudud Ahmed will no more be able to stay in his Gulshan house where he was using for long using the name of his brother.
The apex court also dismissed a case against the senior BNP leader, Moudud Ahmed, filed by Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) on charge of grabbing a house in Dhaka's posh Gulshan area.

A five-member Appellate Division bench, led by chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, gave the verdict.
ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam said the case was dismissed due to its procedural flaws.

At the court premises, Moudud said, "The ACC filed a criminal case against me regarding the Gulshan house, despite a case had been pending with the High Court for hearing on the same matter. The court has dismissed the case proceedings today."

Attorney general Mahbubey Alam termed Moudud ‘illegal occupier' after the court accepted the RAJUK’S appeal.
Moudud Ahmed said he has been the victim of political vengeance. He alleged that ehe government instigated the issue because he is a leader of the opposition party.
Moudud also said he would file a review petition against the scrapping of the HC order regarding mutation of the house.

On 17 December 2013, deputy director of Anti
Corruption Commission (ACC) Harun-or-Rashid filed a case with Gulshan Police Station against Moudud and Manzur on charge of grabbing the house.

In the case ACC said, a Pakistani citizen named Mohammad Ehsan was the original owner of the house and Moudud Ahmed took the allotment of the house from the government on 2 August 1973 in the name of his expatriate brother Manzur presenting false power of attorney papers.
On 26 May 2014, ACC deputy director Harun-or-Rashid filed a chargesheet in this case accusing Moudud and Manzur.

On 14 September 2014, a lower court took cognizance of the case.
Later, Moudud filed a writ petition with the HC challenging the legality of a lower court order taking cognizance of the charges.

However, the HC dismissed the writ petition on 23 June 2015, clearing the way for continuation of the case.
Following this, Moudud and Manzur filed the appeal to the Appellate Division seeking rejection of the HC order.
