The state’s petition to appeal the bail set by the High Court was scrapped by a six-member virtual appellate bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain on Sunday.
Additional Attorney General Sheikh Md Morshed and Deputy Attorney General Biswajit Debnath represented the state at the hearing, while lawyers Baset Mazumder and Sayeed Ahmed Raza represented Erfan.
“There is nothing to bar him from being released from jail as the Supreme Court has rejected the state’s appeal,” Raza said after the hearing.
