All HC orders of ad-interim bail extended for 4 weeks

All the ad-interim orders delivered by the High Court including those regarding bails have been extended for the next four weeks because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic

Supreme Court Registrar General Md Ali Akbar issued a notification to this effect today under the directive from Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain.

The High Court orders that granted bail to accused for specific periods or granted ad-interim bail to accused on condition of their surrender to lower courts concerned in connection with the cases against them and the effectiveness of all other ad-interim orders have been extended for the next four weeks, the notification said.

The SC registrar general issued the notification in continuation of a similar notification he issued on May 2.

The chief justice in April this year decided to run the court functions across the country on a limited scale to prevent the surge of the Covid-19 pandemic.
