HC asks Comilla court to dispose of Khaleda’s bail plea by July 26

The High Court on Monday directed the Comilla Special Tribunal-1 judge to dispose of Bangladesh Nationalist Party chief Khaleda Zia’s bail petition by Thursday in the second case filed against her for burning a bus at Chauddagram, Comilla during the nationwide roads and highways blockade in 2014.

A bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice SM Mozibur Rahman also adjourned until July 29 its order on her bail petition.

On Sunday, the HC bench fixed today to pass an order on the bail petition.

Earlier on July 17, Khaleda Zia filed the bail application in the High Court Division in the 2nd case over burning a single bus after the trial court in Comilla rejected her bail petition on July 1 after shelving it since April.

On May 28, the High Court Division granted her ad interim bail in the first case relating to burning the same bus at Chauddagram.
