Bangladesh’s legal adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul has expressed serious concern to Chief Justice Dr. Syed Refat Ahmed regarding what he described as indiscriminate bail granted by the High Court to individuals accused of terrorism. Speaking to reporters after meeting the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court on Thursday, Nazrul warned that such bail decisions could endanger public safety and undermine judicial integrity.

Nazrul argued that granting bail to politically motivated offenders or those accused of violent crimes contradicts the principles of justice, especially when there is a credible threat to citizens’ lives. He referenced recent threats allegedly made by exiled political figures and urged judges to exercise greater caution when considering bail for suspects with potential links to violence. His remarks have sparked debate within legal and political circles about the balance between judicial independence and national security.

The Chief Justice has not yet issued a formal response, but legal observers expect the Supreme Court to review bail procedures in sensitive cases. The issue may influence upcoming judicial reforms and public trust in the rule of law.
