BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's son Arafat Rahman Koko has filed a writ petition with the High Court challenging legality of the proceedings of a money laundering case against him.
In the petition filed by Barrister Mahbubuddin Khokon on Sunday, Koko prayed to the court to quash the proceedings of the case.
He said one could not even be tried for the offences under the law that was enacted after the incident had taken place.
It was said in the petition that the case was filed against him under the Money Laundering Act 2009 for the alleged laundering between 2004 and 2007.
The Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case with Kafrul Police Station on March 17.
The case is now pending at the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court in Dhaka.
The HC today started hearing of the petition as Attorney General Mahbubey Alam sought time to prepare for hearing. The court adjourned the hearing until tomorrow.
