In October 2008, Uddin and Justice Sheikh Rezowan Ali issued an order asking the government to not harass former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. They also rejected her bail petition because she was outside of the country at that time. In July 2009, Uddin and Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain asked the government to explain why it should not grant bails to two officers of National Security Intelligence, Major General Rezzakul Haider Chowdhury and Wing Commander Sahab Uddin. Uddin and Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain also squashed the corruption conviction of Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir. Uddin and Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain granted bail to Giasuddin Al Mamun in October 2009. Uddin and Justice Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain asked the government to explain why contempt of court charges should not be started against the government for its failure to provide medical treatment to Abdus Salam Pintu, former Bangladesh Nationalist Party minister in jail. In April, Uddin asked eight individuals accused in the case over the 1996 Bangladesh share market scam to surrender. Uddin stayed the conviction of Sabira Sultana, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party nominee for Jessore-2, which had been denied by the courts twice and paved the way for her to contest the upcoming national elections in December 2018. She is the former chairperson of Jhikargachha Upazila who had been convicted on corruption charges. References
