The Supreme Court chamber judge yesterday stayed the High Court orders that on February 26 granted ad-interim bail to Selina Hayat Ivy, former mayor of Narayanganj City Corporation, in five cases, including four over murder, filed in connection with the July uprising.

Justice Md Rezaul Haque, chamber judge of the Appellate Division of the SC, passed the stay orders following five separate petitions filed by the state challenging the HC orders of bail.

The apex court chamber judge also sent the state’s petitions to its full bench for their detailed hearing on March 9, Advocate SM Hridoy Rahman, a lawyer for Ivy, told The Daily Star.

Earlier in November last year, the Appellate Division has stayed the HC bail orders, he said.
