A petition filled by the state, seeking a stay on the High Court's bail order for BNP leaders Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Mirza Abbas in a case filed over the Nayapaltan clashes.
The petition to the SC this morning, by the Attorney General.
Yesterday the High Court (HC) granted six-month bail to BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Standing Committee member Mirza Abbas, in a case over the clash between police and the party activists in Dhaka's Nayapaltan on 7 December last year.
Earlier, the two BNP leaders were denied bail four times by the lower courts concerned in the same case.
Lawyer Sagir Hossain Leone had filed separate bail petitions on the behalf of Fakhrul and Abbas on Monday (2 January).
