A Dhaka court has postponed the hearing on showing former Chief Justice A B M Khairul Haque arrested in a case filed under attempted murder and explosives charges at Banani Police Station. The hearing, initially scheduled for July 6, was deferred to July 8 after the case documents were unavailable. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Sefatullah set the new date for a virtual hearing, confirmed prosecution sub-inspector Moktar Hossain.

According to the case, during the July Movement on August 4, 2024, protesters were attacked near Mohakhali Setu Bhaban, resulting in injuries to 25–30 people, including Ujjal Mia, who later filed the case. Police recently sought to show Khairul Haque arrested in connection with this incident. He is already on bail in eight other cases, including those related to the caretaker government verdict and Anti-Corruption Commission charges.

Khairul Haque was arrested from his Dhanmondi residence on July 24 last year and remains in custody. Despite multiple bail orders, new arrest applications in separate cases have prevented his release.
