The Appellate Division has upheld the High Court order that granted bail to former Awami League (AL) MP from Tangail-3 (Ghatail) Amanur Rahman Khan Rana in a case filed over the killing of freedom fighter and member of AL district unit Faruk Ahmed.
A four-member Appellate Division bench, headed led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, passed the order on Monday rejecting an appeal filed by the state.
Advocate Abdul Baset Mazumder and Advocate Ataur Goni stood for Rana while Deputy Attorney General Bishwajit Debnath represented the state.
Earlier on March 14, the HC granted bail to Rana in the case, according to a UNB report.
On the same day, the SC stayed a High Court order that granted bail to Rana in a separate case filed over the killing of two Jubo League leaders.
Rana surrendered to the Tangail additional district and session's judge court on September 18, 2016 ending his 22-month fugitive run in the freedom fighter murder case.
On January 18, 2013, Awami League leader Faruk Ahmed was shot dead in front of his residence in the district town.
Later, Faruk's wife Nahar Ahmed filed a case in this connection.
