Ex-CJ Khairul Haque gets HC bail in two cases

The High Court (HC) has granted ad-interim bail to former Chief Justice (CJ) ABM Khairul Haque in two murder cases filed with Jatrabari and Adabor police stations in connection with July movement, reports UNB.
A HC bench comprising Justice KM Zahid Sarwar Kajol and Justice Sheikh Abu Taher passed the order on Tuesday.
Senior lawyers Monsurul Haque Chowdhury, Advocate Motahar Hossain Saju and Advocate Md Jahangir Hossain appeared for Khairul Haque.
"With these he has secured bail in all seven cases. Since there are no other cases against him, there is no more legal barrier to his release," said his lawyer advocate Monsurul Haque Chowdhury.
Earlier on April 28, the Appellate Division upheld HC bail granted to Khairul Haque in five cases including a murder case involving a Jubo Dal activist during the July movement, allegations of verdict manipulation in the caretaker government case, and cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
A bench headed by Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury rejected a state appeal against the HC order at that time.
