The High Court (HC) on Monday refused to hear the anticipatory bail petition of Nahid Sultana Juthi, an independent candidate for the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) election, over an attempted murder case.
She is the wife of Jubo League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash.
Advocate Shakila Roushan and Barrister Chowdhury Mousumi Fatema (Kabita) also appealed for bail in the same case.
The High Court bench consisted of Justice Md Salim and Justice Shahed Nuruddin.
On March 8, Assistant Attorney General Saifur Rahman Siddiqui filed the case with the Shahbagh police station.
He accused 20 lawyers, including newly elected Secretary of SCBA Nahid Sultana Juthi and BNP-backed secretary candidate Barrister Ruhul Kuddus Kajol.
Another 30-40 unidentified people were also accused in the case.
