The High Court yesterday deferred the hearing on an anticipatory bail petition of BNP leader Mirza Abbas until April 27 in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
The bench of Justice Md Moinul Islam Chowdhury and Justice JBM Hassan gave the order after his lawyer Joynul Abedin prayed for adjournment. He said they were waiting for decision of the chief justice on the bail petitions of Abbas in two other cases.
He said: “As the chief justice is yet to form a single bench to hear the pleas, we sought seven more days for hearing the bail petition of the BNP leader in the graft case.”
Khandker Mahbub Hossain and Mahbub Uddin Khokon represented Abbas along with Ehsanur Rahman while ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan represented the plaintiff.
