The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday upheld the High Court order that granted bail to three owners of Apan Jewellers in three money laundering cases, reports UNB. The five-member bench of acting Chief Justice Abdul Wahhab Miah passed the order after rejecting the petition filed by the state.
The owners are Dildar Ahmed, Gulzar Ahmed and Azad Ahmed. Following yesterday’s order, there is no bar to release two of Apan Jewellers’ owners from jail except Dildar Ahmed as he is accused in another case, said Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, counsel of the defendants.
Earlier on January 2, the apex court extended its earlier order until January 8 that stayed the High Court order granting bail to three owners of Apan Jewellers in three money laundering cases.
