Khaleda Zia's bail upheld till May 8

Staff Reporter: The bail granted to the BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, who was sentenced to jail in Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case, has been postponed till May 8. At the same time, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the prosecutor have got the permission to appeal against his bail. The four-member Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain gave the order on Monday morning. By giving time to the parties to submit summaries of appeals, the court will hold the hearing on May 8 for the hearing.

The lawyers say that, because of the suspension of Khaleda Zia in this case and her bail in some other cases, she is unable to get out of jail right now. The hearing ended on Sunday on separate appeals filed by the parties on the bail petition of Khaleda Zia. The four-member Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain kept the day for the order.

The court gave Khaleda Zia five years of rigorous imprisonment and fined money on February 8 in the case. Since then Khaleda Zia is in the old central jail of Nazimuddin Road. After the verdict, Khaleda appealed to the High Court to appeal to the High Court, on which the High Court granted her four months to the hearing on March 12, considering the four aspects.

The ACC and the state government have separately requested the court to suspend the bail. On March 14, the Appellate Division adjourned the bail till Sunday, and the ACC and the state side are asked to make regular leave-to-appeal during this period. On the other hand, Khaleda Zia's lawyer appeals for the withdrawal of the stay, which became the court of the Chamber of Justice on that day. The court sends the application for hearing on a regular bench of the Appellate Division. After that the ACC and the state parties make separate leave to appeal (apply for appeal permission). These applications rose for hearing on Sunday.

Khurshid Alam Khan told the hearing that the decision of the Appellate Division is to be pronounced when the appeal is pronounced in the short-term. Although this paradigm is upheld, the High Court did not reflect the order, which is contrary to the decision of the Appellate Division. The High Court's order came, he (Khaleda Zia) was on bail. But it is to see if he has misused the bail, that is to see. Without the permission of the judicial court and without informing, Khaleda Zia went out of the country for treatment, the details of the judicial court came in detail. What could be a big misuse? What could be a big oddity than going abroad without the permission of the court?

Khurshid Alam Khan, on health related arguments, said that medical paper or certificate was not given in this regard. The judicial court considers five years sentence for the elderly and women. Can not get benefit twice for the same reason.

In line with the incident, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said that they (Khaled's) have not taken any means to delay the trial, that they did not take it. Here five years have been awarded, the appeal will not be heard even in five years, it is unreasonable. He said how often an accused will be given benefits? Khaleda Zia's illness is being talked about, but she has held meetings, assembled and going abroad. If bail is granted, the appeal hearing will be uncertain. The Attorney General said, "The High Court has given four months time to prepare the paperbook, reduced it to two months." The High Court's lawyer, AJ Mohammad Ali, said that the High Court could give bail in the absence of the Appellate Court. In most cases short-term arrangements have been bailed. According to the provisions of Section 426, the High Court may give bail as mentioned above. In this case, the High Court has given bail because of the reasons. In the very exceptionally case the Supreme Court can interfere, if the High Court order is justified. He said, under section 497, women and children will be given bail. In this case, section 426 is the same. This is the continuation. The lawyer said that short-term punishment is an aspect, another aspect is the appeal. What if the appeal is not punished or decreases? In this case, the emphasis is on balance.

Khaleda's other lawyer Khandker Mahbub Hossain said, "The importance of Khaleda Zia's case is its importance. If he did not, we would not even come, the government would not have been so enthusiastic. The High Court has jurisdiction.

The order is unprecedented: Khaleda Zia's lawyers, describing the Supreme Court order as 'unprecedented' and 'unexpected' on the bail question. Moudud Ahmed said, "The Supreme Court has ordered, now there is no alternative without legal battle. Another is the movement of the highway. It can not be done in the Supreme Court. But the lawyers who are the lawyers, we will try their best (Khaleda Zia) for release. "BNP Vice Chairman and Supreme Court Advocate General's President Zainul Abedin told reporters outside the court," We are forced to call this order 'unprecedented' because of In the past, this order has not been given to the highest court of the country. "He alleged that the present government led by the Awami League did not belong to the country The courts have 'swallowed' the courts.

'The High Court also seems to try to consolidate slowly. I told the court that the people of the country came to you with the hope of getting justice. But if they are hopeless, then this judiciary will not have the confidence of the people. We want to speak for the countrymen, we are shocked. We are sorry. '

Hearing: Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain said at the beginning of the morning, 'It is but our decision to all. I am giving this order unanimously. "After the order the Appellate Division goes to regular work. After some time Khaleda's lawyer Zainul Abedin told the court, "I am sorry. You did not understand what you ordered. "The Chief Justice said, 'We have given this order as unanimous.' Zainul Abedin .
