Bail and all High Court ad-interim orders have been extended for the next four weeks, considering the lockdown and ongoing Covid-19 situation of the country.
Registrar General of the Supreme Court (SC) Md Ali Akbar issued a notice in this regard on Sunday.
The notice says the four week-extension will be effective on cases the High Court granted bail to the accused for a specific period or granted bail on condition of surrendering to a lower court or declared ad-interim order for a period.
On April 5 and April 18, through two different notices, the Supreme Court had extended all ad-interim bails and orders for two weeks, twice.
On April 11, the Supreme Court declared on a notice that from April 12 all the court and tribunals will be conducted virtually to settle all the bail and emergency criminal applications.
