Ayesha Siddika MinniSupreme Court upholds Ayesha’s bail

The Appellate Division on Monday upheld the High Court bail for Ayesha Siddika Minni in a case over the murder of her husband Rifat Sharif and paved the way for her release from jail.

The bench of Supreme Court judge Hasan Foyez Siddique passed the order dismissing a government plea challenging the HC order.

Minni’s lawyer ZI Khan Panna told journalists that now there is no legal bar to releasing Minni from jail.

Earlier on Sunday, Sufia Khatun, advocate-on-record for the attorney general’s office, submitted the petition to the Appellate Division seeking stay on her bail order.

On August 29, the HC granted bail to Minni on condition of staying in her father’s custody and refraining from talking to media.
