Rashedul Haque Chisty has been in jail since his arrest in a money laundering case
The Appellate Division on Tuesday denied bail to Rashedul Haque Chisty, the son of former chairman of Farmers Bank audit committee Mahbubul Haque Chisty, in a money laundering case.
A bench of five justices under the chief justice issued the order and directed the judicial court to settle the case quickly.
Advocate AF Hasan Arif stood for the accused while advocate Md Khurshid Alam Khan represented the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) at the court. Additional Attorney General Sheikh Mohammad Ershad stood for the state.
Md Khurshid Alam Khan said on January 26 the High Court upheld the bail of Rashedul Haque Chisty and after the bail is cancelled, he will have to remain behind bars until the case is under trial.
Later, the ACC appealed for suspending the order with the Appellate Division.
