The Supreme Court (SC) has fixed June 6 for hearing in the petition filed against the High Court (HC) order for cancelling the bail of expelled president of Dhaka Metropolitan South Jubo League Ismail Chowdhury Samrat, reports BSS.
The Appellate Division of the SC headed by Chief Justice Hasan Foez Siddique passed the order on Sunday.
Senior Advocate Barrister Rokon Uddin Mahmud appeared for Samrtat in the court while Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan represented the ACC.
From March 31 to May 11 this year, Samrat was granted bail by the lower court in a total of four cases on health ground.
After receiving the bail papers on May 11, the jail authorities released Samrat.
On May 18, the ACC filed an application with the High Court (HC) seeking cancellation of bail in a case filed against him for acquiring assets without known sources of income, saying that Samrat could not secure a bail because of the gravity of his offence.
Moreover, no relevant medical papers were submitted before the lower court to prove his illness, said the ACC.
The HC cancelled his bail and ordered him to surrender to the lower court within next seven days.
The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) arrested Samrat from a village in Cumilla's Chauddagram upazila on October 6, 2019.
In a subsequent action, police raided his Kakrail office in the capital and recovered a huge quantity of foreign liquor, guns and rare species of wildlife skins.
