DHAKA: The High Court on Monday granted one-year bail to Jubo Dal president Syed Moazzem Hossain Alal in a case filed under the Special Power Act.

An HC bench comprising Justice M Rezaul Haque and Justice Gobinda Chandra Thakur granted bail.

The court also issued a rule upon the government to explain within four weeks ‘why he (Alal) should not be given a permanent bail’.

Advocate Zainul Abedin and Advocate Sagir Hossain Lion moved for the defendant when deputy attorney general ASM Nazmul Haque stood for the state.
