The High Court on Thursday rejected the bail to suspended DIG (Prisons) Partha Gopal Banik in a case filed over recovery of Tk 80 lakh from his residence in Dhaka.
The court, at the same time, ordered to surrender him by September 20.
Accepting the appeal petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against the bail, an HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order.
Lawyer Md Khurshid Alam Khan stood for the petitioner while deputy attorney general Bipul Bagmar represented the state.
On June 17, judge Md Iqbal Hossain of the Special Judge Court-5 of Dhaka granted ad-interim bail to Partha Gopal, a suspended Deputy Inspector General (Prisons) of Sylhet Division, in the case.
The judge granted him bail till July 15 upon a bond of Tk 50,000 from two guarantors, one of whom must be a local guardian and the other a practicing lawyer.
Earlier on November 4 last year, the same court framed charges against the accused in the case.
