A Dhaka court on Thursday extended the bail of expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat till July 6 in a graft case filed by Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
At the same time, the court ordered the concerned authorities to return Samrat's passport for two months after the application was submitted on the condition that he will go to Singapore for treatment.
Judge Monjurul Imam of the Special Judge's Court-6 passed the order after Samrat's lawyer Afroza Shahanaj Parvin Hira submitted two separate petitions seeking extension of his bail in the case and seeking permission to return his passport.
His lawyer made another application seeking postponement of the hearing of the complaint against Samrat.
Samrat was present in the court during the hearing on Thursday.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Samrat along with his associate and also former Jubo League leader Enamul Haque alias Arman from a village in Comilla's Chauddagram upazila on October 6, 2019.
On November 12 in the same year, ACC deputy director Md Jahangir Alam filed a case against him for amassing wealth worth around Tk3 crore beyond his known income sources.
The anti-corruption watchdog submitted a charge sheet against him on November 26, 2020, accusing him for rallying wealth worth over Tk222.88 crore beyond his known income sources.
