Wednesday, 25 May 2022
The High Court has settled a rule, granting bail to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in a case over a bomb attack on a bus in Cumilla's Chauddagram filed under the Special Powers Act seven years ago, reports bdnews24.com.
The decision, therefore, grants Khaleda permanent bail, according to her legal counsel Barrister Kaiser Kamal.
The High Court bench of Justice Jahangir Hossain and SM Mozibur Rahman issued an order to settle the rule on Monday.
"The state has regularly filed cases against the former prime minister. She could have received bail in all cases if justice was being done. The BNP chairperson will never misuse her privileges if she's granted bail. Previously, the court granted her interim bail and she did not misuse it. This time the rule has been settled regarding her bail, meaning she has been granted permanent bail," said Barrister Kaiser Kamal.
