The chamber court of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to Sabera Aman, wife of BNP leader Aman Ullah Aman, in a graft case.
Justice M Enayetur Rahim passed the order and fixed January 15 for a hearing.
The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) on March 6, 2007, filed the case with the city's Kafrul police station against Aman Ullah Aman and his wife Sabera Aman.
On June 21, 2007, a court sentenced Aman to 13 years imprisonment and his wife to three years in jail in the case.
Later, they filed an appeal challenging the lower court order.
On August 16, 2010, the High Court acquitted them.
The Anti-Corruption Commission submitted a petition to the Appellate Division challenging the High Court order.
On May 26, 2014, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court asked the High Court to re-hear the petition.
On May 30, the High Court upheld the lower court order that had sentenced Aman to 13 years in jail and his wife Sabera to three years.
It also asked them to surrender before the court within 15 days of getting the text of the verdict.
