The Supreme Court (SC) issued a stay order on BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's bail granted by the High Court (HC) in two cases over violence in Cumilla, reports bdnews24.com.
Chamber Judge Justice Hasan Foez Siddique passed the order in response to the state's appeal challenging the bail order on Tuesday.
"The judge has sent the case to the full bench for hearing on the appeal," said Attorney General Mahbubey Alam who moved for the state. He said the hearing will be held on Thursday.
Lawyer Khandaker Mahbub Hossain moved for Khaleda.
On Monday, Justice AJM Asaduzzaman and Justice JBM Hassan granted interim bail in the two cases. But it denied the bail in a defamation case filed in Narail.
Hours after the HC granted bail to the BNP chief, the government filed two petitions with the SC seeking stay on the bail orders.
