SC upholds Milon's bail
The Supreme Court yesterday upheld a High Court order that granted bail to former BNP state minister ANM Ehsanul Haque Milon in an extortion case filed against him in Chandpur.
The government recently filed a petition with the SC seeking stay of the bail order.
But, Justice ABM Khairul Haque, chamber judge of the appellate division, yesterday passed no order on the petition.
Additional Attorney General Momtaz Uddin Fakir said the chamber judge's passing no order on the petition means the HC order has been upheld.
Milon's lawyer barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon said there is no legal bar to his client's release from jail following the chamber judge's order.
In July this year, a local Awami League leader filed the case with Kachua Police Station in Chandpur against Milon on charge of extorting around Tk 2 lakh from him in 2006.
On August 18 this year, the HC granted ad-interim bail for three months to Milon in the case.
Milon was sent to jail in connection with the case on March 14 this year.
