The High Court on Tuesday granted ad interim bail for four months to former BNP minister Mirza Abbas in three separate cases filed on charges of vandalising cars and obstructing police in discharging their duties.

An HC bench of Justice Syed Mohammad Dastagir Husain and Justice AMK Zahirul Hoque also issued separate rules upon the government to explain why Mirza Abbas should not be granted regular bails in the cases.

Mirza Abbas’s lawyer Advocate Khandakar Mahbub Hossain told The Daily Star that there is no legal bar to his client’s release from jail following the HC order.

Mizra Abbas, also BNP standing committee member, was arrested on June 27 on charges of vandalising cars and obstructing police during the hartal hours and the day before hatral.

Later he was shown arrested in the cases filed with Motijheel, Paltan and Ramna police stations on June 27.
