The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has upheld a High Court order that the Tk 300 crore house in Dhanmondi-2 will be owned by the government.
A three-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddiqui passed the order on Monday (15 May).
The Appellate Division gave the verdict after hearing a leave-to-appeal petition, filed by Nehal Ahmed, challenging a High Court order that overturned the decision given by the First Court of Settlement.
The house was claimed by journalist Abed Khan and S Nehal Ahmed.
