On 23-24 February 2024, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh organised an international conference on the South Asian Constitutional Courts in the twenty-first century:
16th amendment: Bangladesh apex court to hear review petition on Jan 18 thefinancialexpress.com.bd - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thefinancialexpress.com.bd Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
a) The accused may tamper with the evidence;
b) The accused may threaten witnesses and thereby subvert the judicial process;
c) The accused may run away and thus escape the reach of the law.
Beyond these reasons there are no legal grounds to deny bail to any citizen of the country. None of the above three conditions apply to Rozina. She will be in jail for three days. And it s all due to postponement of bail hearing. She could have been granted bail yesterday.
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (Act no. V of 1898) clearly states in section 497. (1) When any person accused of any non-bailable offence is arrested or detained without warrant… is brought before a court, he may be released on bail but he shall not be so released if there appears to be reasonable grounds for believing that he has been guilty of an offence punishable with death or transportation for life.
