The Supreme Court chamber judge Tuesday turned down Anti-Corruption Commission and government pleas for stay on the HC rulings scrapping the ACC notice for ex-PM Sheikh Hasina's wealth statement.

However, the chamber judge referred their application to the regular bench of the Appellate Division of the SC for hearing on December 2. The ACC and the government moved the application for halting the High Court judgment delivered on Nov 21 demolishing the ACCC notice asking the former Prime Minister and Awami League president, now detained, to submit statement of her wealth.

Chamber Judge M Hassan Ameen also passed a similar order on government petition seeking stay on operation of the Nov 22 High Court order granting bail to detained BNP leader Big General (retd) ASM Hannan Shah.
