A High Court judge Sunday felt embarrassed in hearing an application for quashing the Gatco corruption case against Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Matiur Rahman Nizami.

Co-judge of a Division Bench Justice Mashuque Hosain Ahmed felt embarrassed when Nizami's counsel Barrister Abdur Razzak moved the application. The matter was sent to the Chief Justice for order, court sources said.

Nizami was granted bail for two months in Gatco case by the High Court on July 14 and was released following day from prison cell of BSMMU.

Nizami filed the quashing petition as principal accused in the Gatco case ex-PM Khaleda Zia recently got an interim stay order on her case from the High Court.
