bdnews24.com :The Appellate Division has upheld High Court’s bail for senior BNP leader Mirza Abbas in a case filed by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC).The four-member bench headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha on Thursday scrapped the ACC’s plea to appeal against the High Court’s order. The order means there are no more legal problem for Mirza Abbas’ release, said his counsel Sogir Hossain.Mirza Abbas has been in prison since January 6 this year after he surrendered to a trial court in two cases of violence. The BNP Standing Committee member secured bail in the two cases from the High Court in February this year. In the graft case by ACC, the High Court on Mar 9 granted him bail until the trial was over.The ACC moved the Supreme Court’s chamber judge the next day challenging the order, which forwarded it to regular appeals bench. On March 14, the Appellate Division stayed the bail and told the ACC to a file a petition to appeal against the High Court order. The ACC filed a ‘leave-to-appeal’ petition on March 28, which the court rejected on Thursday upholding bail for Mirza Abbas.
