Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus has appealed to the High Court to cancel the proceedings of the money embezzlement case lodged against him.

The application is scheduled to be heard by the High Court division bench of Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Kazi Ibadat Hossain.

Barrister Abdullah Al Mamun, the lawyer for the defendants, told BSS, "The application has been made on behalf of seven people, including Dr. Muhammad Yunus."

Judge Syed Arafat Hossain of the Dhaka Special Judge Court-4 ordered charges to be framed against 14 individuals, including the Nobel laureate, for embezzling approximately Taka 25.22 crore from the Grameen Telecom welfare fund.

July 15 has been fixed for the hearing on charge-framing.
