Islam and Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman stopped an extortion case, filed by Azam J. Chowdhury, against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2008 under Emergency Power Rules. Following the verdict the two judges bench was transferred from the writ to civil appeal hearings. The High Court Bench had ruled that it had the authority to provide bails to those convicted under the Emergency Power Rules but that was later squashed by the Appellate Division.
