The Supreme Court is set to deliver its order on Tuesday on the leave-to-appeal petitions challenging BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s bail that the High Court granted her in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case. The full bench of the Appellate Division, led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, is going to pass the order in the morning. Khaleda Zia’s lawyers, meanwhile, voiced high hope that the apex court will grant Khaleda bail considering her health condition, age, and social status. The SC also allowed the State and Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to file petitions against the High Court order that granted bail to Khaleda. Later, the Appellate Division stayed Khaleda Zia’s bail till May 8 in the case.
