The HC bench of Justice Razik-Al-Jalil and Justice Debashish Roy Chowdhury issued the order following a petition filed by Khairul’s son Advocate Md Asik Ul Haque.

In the petition, Asik said Justice Khairul had been shown arrested in cases filed with Jatrabari Police Station on August 26, 2024, and Adabor Police Station on August 22, 2024, in an illegal, arbitrary and mala fide manner.

Khairul was arrested at his Dhanmondi residence in Dhaka on July 24, 2025, nearly a year after the fall of the Awami League government.

He was later shown arrested in multiple cases, including several filed over killings during the July uprising, and has remained in jail since then.
