Moudud gets bail in tax evasion case
The High Court yesterday granted anticipatory bail for two months to BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed in a tax evasion case.
An HC bench of Justice Salma Masud Chowdhury and Justice Shahidul Karim passed the order after hearing a bail petition filed by Moudud a day after a Dhaka court summoned him to appear before it on February 7 in the case.
National Board of Revenue lodged the case against the former law minister for dodging Tk 6.85 crore in income tax from 1997-98 to 2006-07 fiscal years.
The court took the charges into cognisance on Sunday and summoned Moudud.
The case statement says Moudud concealed information about his wealth worth Tk 27,68,81,078 and gave false information to the income tax department about his authentic income and expenditure.
