Court Correspondent :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday upheld the High Court’s order that allowed bail to BNP Joint-Secretary General Aslam Chowdhury in a sedition case.
The four-member Supreme Court Bench led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order clearing the way for Aslam Chowdhuty’s release from the jail.
Earlier on May 18, the High Court granted bail petition of the BNP leader. Aslam’s counsel Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon said, “Now there is no legal bar for Aslam to get out of the jail.”
Plainclothes police arrested Aslam from the capital on May 15 last year after several local newspapers published reports attaching more than one photographs of the BNP leader’s meeting with influential Israeli leader Mendi N Safadi.
