The High Court has granted six months’ bail to Jewel Hasan Saddam, president of the banned Bagerhat Sadar Upazila Chhatra League. The order was issued on Monday by a division bench of the High Court’s criminal division after hearing his bail petition. According to the report, the decision was made primarily on humanitarian grounds.

Lawyers informed that Saddam recently lost his wife and nine-month-old child, which influenced the court’s consideration in granting bail. The report did not specify the charges against him or the details of the case but emphasized the compassionate reasoning behind the court’s decision.

The ruling provides temporary relief to Saddam for six months, though further legal proceedings are expected following the expiration of the bail period.
