All High Court orders of ad-interim bail extended for 4 weeks

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

The Supreme Court's 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 an accused for a specific period of time or granted ad-interim bail to an 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 Supreme Court 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 in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 infections.
