MNA National Desk: The High Court today acquitted former military ruler HM Ershad in a 25-year old corruption case that involved misappropriation of Tk 1.91 crore.
A bench of Justice Md Ruhul Quddus and Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty passed the order today. On April 12, the HC concluded hearing on the appeals and fixed May 9 for delivering the verdict.
The then Bureau of Anti-Corruption (Bac), which became defunct after formation of the ACC in 2004, filed the case against Ershad with Cantonment police in 1992 on charge of misappropriating Tk 1.91 crore by misusing power on different occasions when he was the president from December 11, 1983 to December 6, 1990.
