The judges’ panel on Monday ordered the ACC to open an appeal to challenge the bail order within a week. Lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan appeared on behalf of the ACC while lawyer Monsurul Hoque Chowdhury represented Latif Siddique in court. A High Court bench of Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice AKM Zahirul Hoque granted six months’ bail to Latif Siddique on Nov 11. Latif Siddique, the former MP from Tangail-4 seat, was in charge of the textiles and jute ministry in the Awami League’s 2009-13 term. On Jun 20, a Bogura court sent Latif Siddique to jail after rejecting his bail plea in the case.
