In May 2014, Akondo and Justice Farah Mahbub issued a split verdict on 25 May 2014 on a petition filed by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.[4] The petition called the appointment of Special Judge Basudeb Roy to the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case was illegal.[4] Akondo ordered for the petition to be scrapped while Mahbub ordered a freezing of the trust corruption trial.[4] The chief justice appointed Justice Quazi Reza-Ul Hoque to solve the issue.[4]
