Barrister Mainul released on bail

Staff Correspondent: Barrister Mainul Hosein was released on Sunday after the High Court granted ad-interim bail in cases filed against him earlier.

He was under treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU).

Earlier, the HC also stayed the trial proceedings of 15 defamation cases filed against Mainul for the next six months and issued separate rules asking the government to explain why the case proceedings against him should not be scrapped.

The Bench of Justice Rezaul Haque and Justice Zafar Ahmed passed the orders after hearing 15 petitions filed by Mainul seeking bail and stay in the cases.

Barrister Mainul was arrested on October 22 last year. As many as 22 cases were filed against him across the country.
