The High Court has granted bail to former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque in a corruption case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) over alleged irregularities in securing a RAJUK plot. The bench of Justice Sheikh Md Zakir Hossain and Justice Md Zakir Hossain delivered the verdict following a final hearing on the bail petition. Khairul, who served as the chief justice from September 2010 to May 2011, had previously secured bail in four other cases on Mar 8. The former chief justice moved the High Court after being denied bail by lower courts. On Oct 26, 2025, the High Court issued a rule on his bail pleas, which was finalised through Wednesday's proceedings.
