HC to hear Chinmoy's bail petition after Eid vacation

The High Court (HC) will hold hearing on a rule regarding the bail of Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote and former ISKCON leader, in a sedition case followed by the HC vacation and Eid holiday, reports UNB.

Both the vacations will continue until April 19 next.

An HC bench of Justice Md Atoar Rahman and Justice Ali Reza set the date, said the defendant's lawyer Apurba Kumar Bhattacharjee.

Earlier, on February 04, the HC issued a rule asking the government to explain why Chinmoy should not be granted bail in the sedition case, rejecting his bail plea.

Later, on March 19, the rule was presented before the court for hearing while the HC set the date, but it was revealed on Sunday.
