The Supreme Court’s Appellate Division yesterday stayed a bail order in favour of Sohel Rana, owner of the collapsed garment factory building, Rana Plaza at Savar near Dhaka.
Chamber Justice Hasan Foez Siddique passed the order following an appeal by the prosecution which challenged the High Court order that granted bail to Rana for six months in a case lodged by Rajuk for constructing the building flouting building construction laws.
Rana is in jail after the eight-storey Rana Plaza collapsed on April 24 last year, claiming at least 1,135 lives and injuring nearly 2,500 people.
