High Court today rejected a writ petition seeking a directive to conduct an

independent inquiry into the allegations and counter allegations over the
termination of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) official Md Sharif
Uddin.

The bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Md

Mostafizur Rahman passed the rejection order considering that the
petition was not placed properly before it.

Writ petitioners' lawyer Mohammad Shishir Manir told The Daily Star that
he requested the HC to reject the petition as Sharif Uddin himself filed a
separate writ petition with this court in order to get his job back.

On February 23, 10 Supreme Court lawyers, led by Shishir Manir,

submitted the petition as a public interest litigation to the HC seeking its
directive on the authorities to conduct an independent inquiry into the
reported allegations and counter allegations over the termination of
Sharif Uddin from the service.
