Judge Mohammad Momin Ullah of Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court passed the order following ten separate criminal appeals filed by the defence lawyers against the rejection orders of the lower court and also seeking bails for Huda and others. The nine others are Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, parliamentary affairs adviser to the immediate past prime minister, three former state ministers Amanullah Aman, Mir Nasir and Iqbal Hasan Mahmud, four former BNP lawmakers M Naser Rahman, Manjurul Ahsan Munshi, Mosaddek Ali Falu and Ali Asgar Lobi, and Firoz Mia, a BNP-backed trade union leader at BTTB. |
