Don't disturb Amar Desh acting editor, two others, HC asks cops
Wednesday, 23 December 2009
A vacation single bench of the High Court (HC) Tuesday asked the law not to disturb in any manner the Amar Desh acting editor and two others for 12 days as they surrendered before it seeking anticipatory bail in a defamation suit filed in Magura, amid a row over a tricky graft report, reports UNB.
Passing the interim order upon a petition, Justice M Ashfaqul Islam, after getting hold of the jurisdiction from the Chief Justice, set January 3, the court's reopening day, for hearing on the anticipatory bail petition in a regular division bench of the HC.
Earlier in the morning, Justice Islam, after hearing both the defence and the state counsels' arguments on the petition, refrained from making any order as he was not empowered to dispose of the pre-arrest bail petition.
