In the first petition, ACC Deputy Director Azizul Haque sought the travel restriction on Alamgir Kabir, citing allegations of abuse of power, nepotism, and embezzlement of several hundred crores of taka from the bank.
The petition stated there was credible information that Kabir might attempt to flee the country.
Meanwhile, in a separate petition, ACC Assistant Director Anisur Rahman requested a similar ban on Tazul Islam and his wife Khodeza Khatun, who are under investigation for allegedly amassing wealth illegally.
The petition stated that their potential departure could obstruct the ACC's inquiry.
The court granted both applications, barring all three individuals from leaving Bangladesh while the ACC's investigations are underway.
