The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has reinstated Commissioner Md. Sharif Uddin to his position, with his seniority fully intact. The commission issued the order on Tuesday (November 10), effectively withdrawing the administrative measures previously taken against him.

The Reinstatement Order

According to ACC sources, Sharif Uddin has been restored to his role with all prior benefits and seniority, in line with commission regulations. With the order taking effect, he will resume his duties at the commission. However, the specific reasons behind his temporary removal or the reinstatement have not been officially disclosed.

Context and Other Developments

On the same day, reports emerged that the chief of the National Security Intelligence (NSI) had departed for Pakistan following a visit to India. The New Age report stated that the NSI chief traveled to Pakistan after concluding his India trip, though details regarding the purpose or agenda of the visit were not provided.

The news of Sharif Uddin's reinstatement has sparked discussions in administrative circles. As a senior official returning to a key anti-corruption body, his preserved seniority is expected to maintain the existing hierarchy within the commission without disruption.

Next Steps

It remains unclear when Sharif Uddin will formally resume his duties following the commission's decision. Given the order has been issued, he is eligible to participate in the commission's activities at any time. The ACC has not yet released an official statement regarding the matter.
