The Appellate Division on Tuesday revoked the bail order of suspended ACC director Khandaker Enamul Basir by the High Court in a bribery case.
Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division M Enayetur Rahim passed the order following an appeal by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) against the bail order.
The court also fixed December 5 for the hearing of ACC’s appeal in front of a full bench of the Appellate Division.
Advocate Khurshid Alam represented the ACC in the court.
On November 17, HC granted Basir bail for six months after hearing his bail petition.
Earlier in February, Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 Sheikh Nazmul Alam sentenced two disgraced government officials to different jail terms in the high-profile bribery case.

While Enamul Basir was sentenced to eight years in jail as the recipient of Tk 40 lakh as bribe , ex- Deputy Inspector General of police Mizanur Rahman was given three years as the one paying the bribe in the same case.
A fine of Tk 80 lakh was also imposed on Basir in the case.
The appeal against that judgment was accepted by the High Court for hearing in April.
On July 22, 2019, ACC arrested Enamul from his Darus Salam residence in the city for taking the bribe from ex-DIG Mizanur Rahman.
On July 16, 2019, ACC director Sheikh Mohammad Fanafillah lodged the complaint over the bribery scandal.
A private TV channel reported that Mizan gave Tk 40 lakh to Basir to get a clean chit in a corruption case.
Enamul was suspended on June 10 of that year for allegedly leaking information, a breach of his job discipline.
Mizan was arrested in the case on July 21, 2019.
