The order on the bail of BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam in three cases will be delivered after his medical report is submitted to the Supreme Court.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha did not give the order yesterday as the medical report was not submitted.
On July 5, the same bench set July 8 to give its order on the petitions filed by the government seeking a stay on High Court order that granted Fakhrul bail.
On June 21, the High Court bailed Fakhrul in the cases and the prosecution filed separate pleas against the court order.
On Sunday, the Appellate Division upheld the BNP leader’s bail in three other cases after hearing the prosecution’s plea to stay that. On June 18, the BNP leader secured interim bail from the High Court in those cases.
Fakhrul is now under treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital’s prison cell. He was detained on January 6 and was shown arrested in seven cases filed on charges of violence, arson attacks, vandalism and explosions. As the trial court did not grant him bail, Fakhrul moved to the High Court with bail petitions.
On June 13, in accordance with a High Court order, the BNP leader was shifted from Kashimpur jail to the hospital after he fell ill.
