SC asks lower court only to hear bail petitions, emergency cases

The Supreme Court on Sunday directed the lower court to adjourn hearing of all cases except the bail applications, cases of injunction and other emergency cases.

The Supreme Court issued the directive after law minister Anisul Huq held a meeting with the Chief Justice and Appellate Divisions’ senior judges at the CJ’s office.

Later the law minister told reporters that the decision was taken in accordance with the World Health Organisation’s prescription that prohibited mass gathering of people to prevent deadly coronavirus.
