He was transferred from Keraniganj Central Jail to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital at 11:45 a.m. on Monday, where he is currently receiving treatment. Haque was arrested on July 24 by the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police in connection with a murder case filed at Jatrabari Police Station.

Justice Haque is widely remembered for presiding over the 2011 verdict that annulled the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, effectively abolishing the caretaker government system.
