The Supreme Court today upheld its earlier verdict upholding the High Court order that had cleared BNP leader Mosaddek Ali Falu from trial proceedings of a relief scam case.

A full bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique dismissed a review petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Corruption Commission (ACC).

Lawyer Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal appeared for Falu while lawyer AKM Fazlul Haque represented the ACC.

The ACC filed the case with Tejgaon Police Station against Falu and few others on charge of misappropriating the government's relief materials in 2007.

The High Court on March 7, 2018, scrapped the trial proceedings of the case. Later on, ACC filed the appeal with the SC challenging the HC verdict.

The ACC filed a review petition challenging June 2, 2021 verdict that upheld the HC judgement.
