At least 220 local BNP leaders and activists from four districts got six weeks’ anticipatory bail from the High Court today (September 11, 2022) in nine separate cases recently filed on charges of vandalising vehicles and obstructing police in discharging duties.
The Supreme Court today (June 12, 2022) cleared the way for the lower court concerned to run the trial proceedings in a corruption case against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's younger brother Shamim Iskander.
The country’s constitution stipulates that there should be specific laws to appoint Supreme Court judges and regulate the appointments of the chiefs of staff of the defence services.
