Akondo started working as a district court lawyer on 1 April 1995.[2]

On 30 October 1997, Akondo became a lawyer of the High Court Division of Bangladesh Supreme Court.[2]

Akondo was appointed a judge of the High Court Division of Bangladesh Supreme Court on 14 June 2012.[2] In June 2014, he was made a permanent judge of the High Court Division.[3]

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]

On 14 December 2015, Akondo and Justice Farah Mahbub asked the government to explain the legal basis behind the construction of a market near Balda Garden in Wari, Old Dhaka.[5] The order was issued after The Daily Star reported a road beside the garden was leased by Dhaka South City Corporation to Awami League members to build the market.[5]\

In February 2021, Akondo and Justice AKM Asaduzzaman granted bail to a journalist in a case filed under the Digital Security Act by Deputy Commissioner of Kishoreganj District Md Sarwar Murshed Chowdhury.[6] Akondo and Justice Muhammad Abdul Hafiz extended the bail of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia by one year on 28 September 2021.[7]
