Attorney General AM Amin Uddin heard the petition in court. He was accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Sarwar Hossain Bappi. Lawyers Zainul Abedin, Ruhul Quddus Kajal, Mahbub Uddin Khokon, Sagir Hossain Lyon and Kaiser Kamal heard on behalf of Fakhrul-Abbas.
At the hearing, the Attorney General said, “On December 21, the Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court set the bail application of Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Mirza Abbas for hearing on January 26.
But on the same day, when another application was filed seeking an interim order for their bail, the application was dismissed by the Sessions Judge.
An appeal was filed in the High Court against the dismissal order keeping the original bail application pending. Questioning whether the High Court can consider the application and grant bail, the state’s chief legal officer said, “The state believes that the order of the High Court is unfair. Therefore, I request that the bail order be suspended.”
In the hearing after the state side, Zainul Abedin, the lawyer of Fakhrul-Abbas, was reading out the dismissal order of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court on December 21. In the meantime, the chamber judge said, ‘The order is before me. You show whether the High Court can grant bail taking into consideration the application made in the High Court against the rejection of the application for interim order keeping the original bail application pending.’
