Bangladeshi Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus today sought a review of an apex court verdict that unseated him earlier this year from his position as the chief of the Grameen Bank, the pioneering micro lending agency he had founded three decades ago.


"We have filed a petition before the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court seeking it to review its own verdict in May this year on 'grounds of errors of law'," Yunus' lawyer Sarah Hossain told PTI.
She claimed that the apex court judgement was full of errors in terms of interpretation of law but declined to "speculate" if the review could restore 70-year-old Yunus' position as the Grameen Bank Director General.
