HC grants bail to Khaleda in two Cumilla cases

The High Court granted on Monday bail for six months to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in two cases of Cumilla and rejected the bail petition in a defamation case of Narail, reports UNB.

A bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice JBM Hasan gave the order.

The HC fixed the date for delivering order on Monday after hearing on the relevant petitions on Sunday.

Of the cases, two were filed in Cumilla on charge of plotting to carry out subversive acts and another in Narail on defamation charges.

On May 19, the HC granted permission to Khaleda for filing the bail petitions after her lawyers appealed for permission.
