the case against the present convict-appellants, even though, the Commission was not operative at the time of issuance of notice but under the provisions of law pursuant to ex-post facto approval
of the law made the Commission operative during the relevant period of time. In this regard, he has referred the decision of the case of Moudud Ahmed and others vs State reported in 68 DLR
(AD) (2016) page 139 para 60 as follows:
“60. This Division having considered the facts and circumstances of the case rightly dismissed the Criminal Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 398 of 2009 on merit by the impugned judgment and order. In the instant case relevant issues on point of law were in respect of sanction by the Commission pursuant to section 32 of the ACC Act read with sub-rule (1) of rule 13, sub-rule (4) and sub-rule (7) of rule 15 of the Rules and the order/notice dated 18.02.2007 under the provisions of section 26 read with section 18 of the ACC Act which was served upon the respondent No. 1 on 20.02.2007. This Division rightly observed that the High Court Division erred in law in holding that the learned Special Judge committed illegality in taking cognizance of the offence without sanction from the Commission purportedly under section 32(1) of the ACC Act and that requirement of sub-section (1) of section 32 was complied with when the charge sheet was submitted along with a copy of the sanction letter from the
Mossaddek, BO
=26=
Commission to the concerned Court. As per provision of law, only one sanction will be required under section 32 of the un-amended Act or the amended Act. In that view of the matter no illegality was committed by the learned Metropolitan Special Judge in taking cognizance of the case. At the time of hearing of the Criminal Petition for Leave to Appeal No. 398 of 2009 the learned Advocate for the Anti-Corruption Commission could not make correct submissions in assisting this Division regarding the true scope and import of section 26 read with section 18(2) of the Act and as a result an error of law crept in formulating the opinion by this Division while disposing of the leave petition with the above observations on misconceived view of law as reported in 62 DLR (AD) 290 and 297 paragraphs 42 (partly) and 43. The aforesaid observations of this Division are not tenable in law because sub-section (2) of section 18 of the Act in unequivocal terms made it abundantly clear that the Commission can accord ex-post facto approval pursuant to the amending Ordinance No. VII of 2007. In disposing the leave petition, if the opinion formed by this Division on the effect of the ex-post facto amending Ordinance No. VII of 2007 is treated to be correct, then it would amount to declaring the law ultra vires or repeal of the law, section 18(2), without examining the vires of the law by a competent Court. We are of the view that declaring a law ultra vires or striking down a law or treating a law to be repealed or nullity without having assailed the vires of the law would tantamount to legislation by the Court which is unknown to our jurisprudence.”

However, the convict-appellants approached the Writ Jurisdiction of the High Court Division under Article 102 of the Constitution seeking a Rule and Direction by filing the Writ Petition No. 2011 of 2007 to permit them to submit wealth statement beyond the time stipulated under

would not make any difference to the principal offences committed under the BCe, 2004z
(2) of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004:
Upon analysis of law itself of section 26 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 it appears to us that there are different kinds of scenarios contain under sub-sections (1) and (2). Section 26(1) of
the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 provides an authority to the Commission to pass an order in writing directing any person upon obtaining information or conducting an inquiry that he or she is owning and possessing property disproportionate to his legal source of income.

but the prosecution claimed that his wife received the notice, however, the prosecution was under an obligation to substantive such claim, which is absent in this case, thus, the prosecution failed to adduce any evidence to prove any receipt thereof. In such event, imprisonment for 3 (three) years cannot be imposed, even if the appellant Haji Md. Salim failed to submit a wealth statement within 72 (seventy two) hours in the notice dated 18.02.2007 because a receipt of the Order (Notice) is a precondition. The alternative provision of section 26(2)(a) of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 is that if any person submits a written wealth statement which must be sufficient to be considered false
or baseless. Here, again 3 (three) years imprisonment could not
be imposed where admittedly notice was not received and no

submission of a wealth statement within 72 (seventy two) hours of the notice period, as such, no question arises as to false or baseless wealth statement.

eventually proved to be innocent. In the instant appeals, neither the State nor the commission raised any question in the trial Court
as to how or when the notice came to the Writ Petitioner. None of the PWs deposed thereabout, therefore, only an assumption of main ingredient of section 26(2)(a) of the Ain, 2004 is not admisable under the Evidence Act.

issued by way of notice by the Commission. Admittedly, Haji Md. Salim never received the Order or Notice, therefore, non- presence of one of the vital elements of a crime, being actus reus which creats a cause of action, thus, no offence has been committed as alleged and mentioned in the impugned judgment.

of punishment under section 26 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004z Therefore, the trial Court misunderstood, misinterpreted and failed to apply his judicial mind by imposing 3 (three) years imprisonment to the appellant Haji Md. Salim, rather, he wrongly mixed up the distinct and independent offences under sections 26
and 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004z In such point of view,
we find that the Special Judge committed an error by imposing 3 (three) years imprisonment to the appellant Haji Md. Salim, as such, the impugned Judgment and Order so far it relates to finding under section 26 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 is hereby set aside except the Order of confiscation of the properties. Accordingly, the Criminal Appeal No. 3537 of 2009

The First Information Report and the charge sheet mentioned above, brought the specific allegations against the convict- appellant Haji Md. Salim under section 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 which is precisely the case of the Anti-Corruption Commission and the State that he acquired properties both moveable and immovable in his own name and in the names of others by way of dishonest means and disproportionate to his

of land, to be précise 86 (eighty six) landed properties in the name of Haji Md. Salim since 1991 without giving any explanation or any information as to how he acquired those properties in his name. A serious question arises what kind of profession or legal income he was involved in since 1991 which lawfully allowed him to acquire, own and possess those huge properties described in earlier paragraphs as exhibits- 28 and 28(1). In such situation, a person requers to explain and state his lawful profession and means of acquiring properties, otherwise, law allows to presume unlawfull manner of acquiring.

=51=
of the country disregarding political position or social identity. Now, we intend to interpretes 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 literally because after plain reading of this law we do not find any ambiguity therein. However, there are at least four Rules for interpretation of statutes which are literal, golden rule, mischief and purposive but we have found that the literal rule of interpretaion is appropriate for section 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 for the reasons stated above. Under this rule a Judge should look primarily to the words of legislation in order to construe its meaning and should not look outside of legislation in
an attempt to find its meaning.
to us that an offence is committed if a person acquires any property by dishonest means and disproportionate to his known-
Mossaddek, BO
=52=
sources of income, a Court shall presume his guilt unless he rebuts otherwise at the trial in a Court. In the present appeals none of appellants attended in the trial Court to rebut the allegations brought against the convict-appellants under section 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 and section 109 of the Penal Code, as such, the learned Special Judge, Special Judge Court No. 07, Dhaka passed the impugned Judgment and Order on the basis of the possession and ownership of the prperties as per the statement supplied to the Anti-Corruption Commission without explaining as to what were the legal sources of income for acquiring such a huge number of properties mentioned in this judgment, which are, 86 landed properties along with the structures thereof in the name of the convicted appellant Haji Md. Salim and 40 landed properties at Dhaka and Narayangonj along with houses and constructed buildings in the name of Mrs. Gulshan Ara Begum, the wife of Haji Md. Salim.
Mossaddek, BO
=53=
without contradicting or rebutting the allegations, therefore, it is presumed that those were acquired by way of practicing corruption or their illegal means in contravention to section 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004z
Mossaddek, BO
=54=
receipt of a notice is not required. Under section 27 of the Ain, 2004 if the commission has sufficient reason to believe as to possession of any property disproportionate to his or her legally known sources of income he or she shall be presumed to have committed an offence, unless he or she can rebut in the trial Court. The differences between sections 26 and 27 are that section 26 requires (i) the Commission upon being satisfied might pass an order for issuance of a notice to any person for declaration of assets (ii) upon receipt of the said notice to submit a true statement of assets and (iii) if he fails or submits false statement, 3 (three) years imprisonment shall be imposed. Whereas section 27 requires that (i) any person possesses or owns any movable or immovable property including cash money, (ii) the property is acquired outside or disproportionate to any legal sources of income, (iii) the person fails to defend himself in any manner by way of rebuttal in Court, (iv) the court shall presume the person’s guilt for acquiring property by dishonest means and by practicing corruption, (v) the Court can impose maximum 10 (ten) years imprisonment and (vi) no notice is needed in this section but only sufficient reason for forming a believe by the Commission is needed beside the present appeals.
Mossaddek, BO
=55=
THE COMMISSION’S ACTION AND INACTIONS:
not have capacity or courage to form such kind of belief even there are thousands of apparent corrupt persons possessing properties and money, but hardly at its own initiatives, rather, unfortunately still depends upon media coverages to form its belief for taking action under sections 26 and 27 of the Ain, 2004.
We desire to see a Commission which must be effective and active in finding out root of all corruptions within the holder of constitutional post and non-constitutional ordinary servants of the Republic. We consider that we are duty bound for eradicating corruption from Bangladesh as per the directives of the Father of
the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (h‰hå¥ ®nM j¤¢Shl¤ lqj¡e) and also the commitments of the Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 is an independent and separate kind
of offence wihch is committed, as soon as, the prosecution can prove and the trial Court finds that there are many moveable and
Mossaddek, BO
=56=
immovable properties owned, possessed or acquired by way of practicing dishonest and illegal means and those are disproportionate to his known-sources of income. In this regard, we consider that the phrase “dishonest means and disproportionate to his known-sources of income” is wisely, carefully and spacificationlly drafted to mean any unlawful means of earning money or property, such as, bribery, cheating, practicing fraud, applying force or even at the cost of tears of other persons (real owners), those properties would be considered as dishonest and without any known-sources of income. The said cited decision also contains the existence of the Commission at the relevant time by Ex-Post Facto approval by amending the Ordinance.
Mossaddek, BO
=57=
without mentioning any where that how the above huge properties were acquired, owned and enjoyed by both the convict- appellants. Failure to make any statement as to any legal sources made the appellants guilty for convicting offence under section 27 of the Ain, 2004.
Mossaddek, BO
=58=
Therefore, the learned Special Judge, Special Court No. 07, Dhaka has rightly presumed that the appellants have acquired and owned the above mentioned properties without any valid known- sources of income.
So far it relates to the offence under section 109 of the Penal Code, the convict-appellant, Mrs. Gulshan Ara Begum, was convicted for aidding and abetting the prinicipal offender who
Mossaddek, BO
=59=
committed the offence under section 27 of the Ain, 2004 and she was sentenced for 3 (three) years rigorous imprisonment with fine
of Tk. 1,00,000/- (one lac), in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment 6 (six) months rigorous imprisonment more. In the Criminal Appeal No 4282 of 2013 filed by the convict-appellant Gulshan Ara Begum, we have been informed that on 30.11.2020 she died during the pendency of the appeal. In this regard, we consider that her appeal will be abated under section 431 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, accordingly, the sentence of 3 (three) years imprisonment is hereby set aside.
We have stated in the earlier paragraphs that all properties in the statement of assets shall be confiscated in favour of the State after cancelling the jimmanamas (¢SÇj¡e¡j¡). In the present given event,
a serious question would arise as to what will happen to the properties mentioned above owned, possessed and acquired by
the appellant (now deceased) Mrs. Gulshan Ara Begum by aidding and abetting the principal offender Haji Md. Salim who has been convicted for an offence under section 27 of the c¤eÑ£¢a

by P. Ram Nath Aiyar edited by Hon’ble Y. B. Chandrachur and according to Webster Dictionary the coram-non-judice have been given meaning that any matter before a Judge not competent or without jurisdiction to deal with the matter. The argument forwarded in favour of this Latin proverb that a Criminal Court would be a coram-non-judice and will have no jurisdiction to adjudicate as to who is the person entitled or released of the property which was confiscated by a Criminal Court. In the instant appeal, by the impugned judgment and order of the properties of the convict-appellant Mrs. Gulshan Ara Begum (now deceased) the properties were confiscated by a Criminal Court but that Court would be coram-non-judice to decide any entitlement of successor’s claim, if any.

claim. In failure of any such claim of right and title upon the confiscated properties both moveable and immovable would remain confiscated in favour of the State.
Beside the above legal and factual aspects of these appeals, we observe that corruption is a mental disease which can not be curred by only corporal punishment but by identifying the areas and individuals or group of individuals addicted, facilitated and opportunistic to corruption and by listing their names, including within the Commission and Judiciary by the commission as well as by all heads of private and public offices and Courts for sending them warning letter as soon as any person is detected and disclosed. We know that it will be a difficult and risky task because an honest person may fall prey of a corrupted person but we have to start from somewhere to be a civilized and corruption free nation.

to the rank of our civilization. In addition to the above, the modern States are ranked internationally as to degree of corruption. We are ashamed of our rank because of some corrupted persons who have managed to set themselves up in every sector in disguise with mental illnesses. They are powerfull, organized and syndicated, therefore, on the basis of seriousness, arrogant and protracted offenders of corruption capital punishment could be introduced.
We are of the opinion that so far it relates to the conviction and sentence under section 27(1) of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 the prosecution could successfully prove its case by adducing and producing sufficient evidence as to acquiring huge measurement of immovable properties of land and stuctures thereupon and movable properties appropriately valued at Tk. 67,43,96,742-/ (sixty seven crore forty three lac ninety six thousand seven hundred and forty two) which are disproportionate to legal sources of income and/ or unlawful and dishonest means of income by the convict-appellant Haji Md. Salim and the learned trial Court committed no error of law and fact rather lawfully and validly convicted the convict-appellant Haji Md. Salim for 10

(ten) years rigorous imprisonment and also awarding fine of Tk. 10,00,000/- (ten lacs), in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment
for 1 (one) year more, therefore, the appeal so far it relates to the offence of the convict-appellant Haji Md. Salim under section 27(1) of the c¤eÑ£¢a cje L¢jne BCe, 2004 is hereby dismissed and
his properties shall remain to be confiscated.
