Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil granted Minar bail for six months on Sunday. The High Court had previously granted bail to Minar, but it had been dismissed by the Appellate Division on Mar 19. The Supreme Court had ordered the case to be resolved within the next six months and stated that bail could be reconsidered if the case was not completed by then. Minar Chowdhury’s lawyers sought bail again on Oct 15 after the court case passed the Supreme Court’s deadline. He was released from jail on bail from the High Court for health reasons.
