Appellate Division to deliver order over Selina Hayat Ivy's bail on 3 May

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is set to
deliver its order next Sunday (3 May) on the government's petition seeking a
stay on a High Court order which granted bail to former Narayanganj City
Corporation mayor Selina Hayat Ivy in five cases.
A bench led by senior justice
Mohammad Ashfaqul Islam fixed the date for the order today (27 April).
Ivy was arrested around 3am on 9
May last year from Chunka Kutir in Deobhog. She was later shown arrested in
several cases.
Although the High Court had earlier granted her bail in
five cases, the Appellate Division stayed the order.
On 18 November, she was again shown
arrested in five more cases.
On 26 February, a High Court bench
comprising Justice KM Zahid Sarwar and Justice Sheikh Abu Taher granted her
bail in those cases.
She was shown arrested in four of
the five cases filed over the murder of bus driver Abul Hossain Miji, Abdur
Rahman, Md Yasin and Parvez.
Another case, filed with Sadar Model Police Station, involves charges of
assault and obstruction of government work.
The state subsequently filed a petition
with the Appellate Division. On 5 March, the chamber court of the Appellate
Division stayed the High Court's bail order and referred the matter to a
regular bench for hearing.
In the meantime, she has been shown
arrested in two additional cases.
