A Dhaka court Wednesday cleared HM Ershad of conviction in the Japanese boat purchase graft case, drawing a line under a long-drawn legal battle. In the final verdict on the case, the first additional district and sessions judge's court acquitted Ershad of the case. "He (Ershad) will remain the same as he is now," the court said. A lawyer said Ershad is at liberty. Mustafizur Rahman, a lawyer for Ershad, told bdnews24.com that there was no bar for him to take part in the election. "He (Ershad) doesn't have to serve a jail term. The sentence has already been served out."
