The High Court has granted six months’ interim bail to BNP Joint Secretary General Habib Un Nabi Khan Sohel in 11 cases filed with different police stations in the capital.
The bench of Justice AKM Abdul Hakim and Justice Bhabani Prasad Singha passed the order on Sunday following hearing on the bail petitions.
However, Sohel cannot get released from jail as he is accused in 114 more cases, his counsel Joynul Abedin said.
Sohel surrendered before a Dhaka court on October 9 and filed bail petitions in 40 cases. The court sent him to jail rejecting his bail petitions.
The cases were filed against him during the countrywide blockade and hartal enforced by the BNP-led 20-party alliance last year.
