UNB, Dhaka :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a High Court order that granted anticipatory bail to seven top BNP leaders, including its secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, in a case filed with Hatirjheel Police Station.
The chamber judge of the Appellate Division Justice Hasan Foez Siddique came up with the order following a petition filed by the state against the HC order.
The court also fixed Thursday for hearing the petition at the full bench of the Appellate Division.
Earlier on October 3, the HC bench of Justice Muhammad Abdul Hafiz and Justice Kashefa Hossain granted the anticipatory bail to the seven BNP leaders in the case.
The other leaders are BNP Standing Committee Members Nazrul Islam Khan, Mirza Abbas, Gayeshwar Chandra Roy and Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Vice-chairmen Amanullah Aman and Ruhul Kuddus Talukder.
The case was filed with Hatirjheel Police Station on October 1 on charge of preventing police from discharging their duties and “instigating” subversive activities.
