The High Court (HC) on Monday dropped a writ petition filed by Deputy Attorney General Jannatul Ferdoushi Rupa, challenging a notice of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to appear before it for interrogation, from its cause list.

“Out of the list,” said the order passed by the High Court division virtual bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Ahmed Sohel today.

Senior lawyer JI Khan Panna and Suraiya Begum appeared for the DAG, while Deputy Attorney General AKM Amin Uddin Manik stood for the state.

Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan was present during the hearing for the anti-graft body.

“The High Court has declined to hear the writ and dropped it from its cause list,” Advocate Khan told newsmen.
