The High Court has granted bail to former Chief Justice A B M Khairul Haque in four cases involving verdict forgery, murder, and other charges. The order was issued on Sunday by a bench comprising Justice Md Khairul Alam and Justice Md Saghir Hossain. Earlier, on October 26 of the previous year, another High Court bench had issued a rule asking why Haque should not be granted bail in five cases, including those filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Haque was arrested from his Dhanmondi residence on July 24 of the previous year by the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police and was later sent to jail in connection with the murder of Jubo Dal activist Abdul Kaiyum Ahad during the July movement. Haque served as Chief Justice from October 1, 2010, to May 17, 2011, and led the Appellate Division bench that declared the 13th Amendment unconstitutional, abolishing the caretaker government system.
After retiring, he was appointed Chairman of the Law Commission in 2013 and reappointed several times. Following the fall of the Awami League government in August 2024, he resigned and subsequently faced multiple cases alleging corruption and verdict forgery.
