The Appellate Division has upheld the High Court’s bail order for former minister Abdul Latif Siddique in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The three-member appellate bench led by Justice Zubair Rahman Chowdhury issued the order, scrapping the motion to deny the bail submitted by the state. Barrister Sara Hossain represented Latif at the court, while Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman, and Additional Attorney General Aneek R Haque represented the state. The state challenged the bail order at the Appellate Division. Former secretaries Bhuiyan Shafiqul Islam and Abu Alam Shahid Khan were later arrested in connection with the case.
