Sircar and former deputy speaker Akhtar Hamid Siddiqui in four graft
cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.Judge Mohammad Zahirul Haque of the Senior Special Judges' Court in Dhaka granted them bail after they surrendered before the court in the morning and sought bail in the cases.
The court fixed January 10 for passing an order on whether it would take the charges into cognisance.
The ACC on December 28, 2010 filed the cases with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station.
The anti-graft watchdog pressed charges against Jamir Uddin and Akhtar Hamid on November 7 and 8 this year respectively.
According to one case statement, Jamir Uddin drew around Tk 27.86 lakh in the name of treatment abroad. He approved the amount for himself abusing his power as the speaker. He was aided and abetted by Ashraful Islam, the then chief accounts officer of the Parliament Secretariat.
Now a BNP lawmaker, Sircar has been charged with abuse of power also in two cases filed against BNP leader Khandaker Delwar Hossain and Akhtar Hamid for drawing around Tk 6 lakh and Tk 1.21 lakh in the name of overseas treatment.
Another case statement says Delwar moved furniture worth Tk 6.09 lakh from the chief whip's official residence to his own house. He did that on Sircar's approval, which was unlawful.
