HC orders of ad-interim bail extended 4 weeks

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

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

The HC orders that granted bail to accused for specific periods of time 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 next four weeks, the notification said.

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

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