In this significant role, he will represent the ACC in court cases on a case-by-case basis, specifically conducting cases pending before the Supreme Court on behalf of the ACC.

The confirmation of his appointment was made by ACC Deputy Director Akhtarul Islam on 14 August. This appointment is not a permanent one, and Mr. Malik's role is on a case-by-case basis.
Based in Bangladesh, the ACC is an anti-graft body. Mr. Malik's role in the ACC is now extended to handling cases in the Supreme Court, as per the letter. The cases he is assigned to handle are pending in the Supreme Court and are related to the ACC.
The ACC's cases being handled in the Supreme Court by Mr. Malik will play a crucial part in the ACC’s efforts to prosecute corruption cases effectively within Bangladesh. With his extensive legal experience, Mr. Malik's appointment is expected to strengthen the ACC's stance against corruption in the country.
