Raj Abrar: The High Court yesterday granted bail for six months to BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in two cases of Cumilla and rejected the bail petition in a defamation case of Narail.
A bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice JBM Hasan came up with the order. The HC fixed the date for delivering order after hearing the relevant petitions on Sunday.
Two cases were filed in Cumilla on charge of plotting to carry out subversive acts and another in Narail on defamation charges.
On May 19, the HC granted permission to Khaleda for filing the bail petitions after her lawyers appealed for permission.
The Appellate Division earlier on May 18 upheld the High Court order that had granted bail to convicted BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
