The High Court Monday issued a rule upon the government to explain why its sanction placing the Anti-Corruption Commission case against Tarique Rahman couple under the ambit of the Emergency Power Rules "should not be declared illegal". A division bench comprising Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman and Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury, upon a petition, passed the order.

"The rule is made returnable in six weeks," says the court order. On September 26, the ACC filed a case with Kafrul police station accusing Tarique, detained former premier Khaleda Zia's eldest son and senior joint secretary general of BNP, his wife Dr Zubaida Rahman and mother-in-law Syeda Iqbalmand Banu on charge of concealing wealth information.
