SC stays Sohel Rana’s HC bail

The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the bail granted by the High Court to Rana Plaza owner Sohel Rana in a case filed by Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) under the Building Construction Act. Supreme Court’s Appellate Division Chamber Judge Justice Hasan Foez Siddique passed the order following an appeal filed by the state. On March 23, the HC vacation bench comprising Justice M Rezaul Hasan and Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarker granted the Jubo League leader a six-month bail in the Rajuk case. However, it had dismissed his bail pleas in the murder case filed over the Rana Plaza collapse that killed over 1,100 people last year, according to UNB.
