Court Correspondent :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday upheld its earlier order that stayed High Court verdict granting bail to MP Amanur Rahman Khan Rana in Freedom Fighter Faruk Ahmed murder case.
A three-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed ” No order” on a petition filed by MP Rana seeking “Modification” of same court’s order of May 8 that stayed the High Court order about MP Rana’s bail.
On April 13, the High Court granted ad-interim bail to Rana and also issued a rule asking the government to explain as to why Rana should not be granted regular bail in the case. Before it, this court refused him bail in the case four times for different reasons.
The bullet-hit body of Freedom Fighter Faruk, also a district Awami League leader of Tangail, was found on January 18, 2013. Later, a murder case was filed. Police reportedly found evidence of the involvement of MP Amanur Rahman and his three brothers in the murder. He surrendered in a Tangail court on September 18 last year.
