DHAKA: Supreme Court Appellate Division upheld the chamber judge’s order that stayed a High Court order halting suspension of Mosaddek Hossain Bulbul as Rajshahi City Corporation Mayor.

An Appeal bench led by Chief Justice SK Sinha passed the order on Sunday.

Earlier on May 7, Local Government Division suspended Bulbul under section 12(1) of the local government (city corporation) act, 2009 saying that the court accepted charges against him in three cases after police pressed the charges. 

Later on June 4, Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Hasan Foez Siddique stayed the High Court order following a government appeal moved by Attorney General Mahbubey Alam.

Further, following a writ petition on May 28, the HC had stayed the suspension order of the mayor after police had charged him with some criminal cases.
