25 pro-BNP lawyers get bail until Jun 19
Dhaka, June 3 (UNB) – A Dhaka court on Sunday granted bail to 25 pro-BNP lawyers until June 19 in a case filed for unleashing vandalism and creating chaos at a lower court on May 22.
Judge of the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court Shahidul Islam granted the bail to the lawyers on their surrender before his court in compliance with a High Court order.
The High Court on May 24 granted 10-day ad interim anticipatory bails to the 22 pro-BNP lawyers upon their surrender before it and asked them to surrender before the designated trial court before the expiry of the bail period.
On May 31, police pressed charges in the case.
Investigation officer (IO) of the case Abidul Islam, who is also a sub-inspector of Kotwali Police Station, submitted the charge sheet under the Speedy Trial (Law and Order Disruption) Act against 25 pro-BNP lawyers to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka.
The court had also fixed June 13 for hearing on acceptance of the charge sheet.
The pro-BNP lawyers include Dhaka Bar Association president Borhanuddin and its former president Sanaullah Miah.
Members of Jatiyatabadi Ainjibi Forum on May 22 boycotted proceedings at four trial courts in Dhaka protesting a court order sending BNP MP Mahbub Uddin Khokon who faces a case for torching a vehicle near the Prime Minister’s Office on April 29 to jail.
More than 100 pro-BNP lawyers, led by advocates Sanaullah Miah and Masud Ahmed Talukder, brought out a procession on the court premises.
The agitating lawyers reportedly vandalised windowpanes at the District Judge’s Court and Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court during the demonstration.
Later, a case was filed with Kotwali Police Station against 99 people for the incidents under the Speedy Trial Tribunal Act. Twenty-nine people were named as accused in the case.
