Bail remains for Hasina in Noor Ali case

Tuesday, 14 August 2007


The Supreme Court Tuesday did not stay Sheikh Hasina's bail in an extortion case filed by businessman Noor Ali, nor did it freeze a High Court stay order on the Anticorruption Commission's notice for her wealth statement. The apex court set the next hearing date for Thursday on government appeals against the HC orders. A full bench of six judges, headed by chief justice Md Ruhul Amin, set the date. On August 7, the HC granted Hasina bail in the Noor Ali case and froze the efficacy of the ACC notice.
