The HC also issued separate rules upon the government to explain within four weeks as to why the Jamaat leaders should not be granted regular bail in the cases.
There is no case, except the cases filed on charge of committing crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War against with the Crimes Tribunal, against the first five Jamaat leaders; so they would not get release now following the HC order, their lawyers said
However, there is no legal bar for Rafiqul Islam Khan to be released as he got bail in all the cases filed against him, said the lawyers.
On Sunday (November 28), the six leaders secured bail from the HC in four separate cases filed for obstructing police in discharging their duties while the first five leaders got bail in separate 10 cases yesterday.
A bench of the HC comprising Justice Moyeenul Islam Chowdhury and Justice AKM Abdul Hakim came up with the order upon separate petitions filed by the detained Jamaat leaders seeking bail in these cases.
