A total of 53,952 people secured bail in the 33 working days until Wednesday as the virtual courts and tribunals settled a total of 103,822 petitions.
The virtual courts and tribunals have granted bail to 825 juveniles in the period of time, Md Saifur Rahman, a special officer at the High Court Division, told The Financial Express.
Moreover, as many as 1,068 accused secured bail on Tuesday.
The courts and tribunals have been hearing cases virtually for the second phase since April 12 as the country witnessed a sudden spike in coronavirus-related infections and fatalities.
Previously, in March last year, the Supreme Court suspended the operation of all courts as part of the government efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
Later in May, President Abdul Hamid promulgated an ordinance allowing all courts to virtually conduct their trial proceedings.
