All ad-interim orders of the High Court, including those regarding bails, have been extended for the next four weeks due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation.

The Supreme Court's Registrar General Md Ali Akbar issued a notification to this effect today under the directive from Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain.

The High Court orders that granted bail to accused for specific periods or granted ad-interim bail on condition of their surrender to lower courts concerned in the cases against them and the effectiveness of all other ad-interim orders have been extended for the next four weeks, the notification said.

The chief justice has recently decided to run the court functions across the country on a limited scale to prevent the surge of the Covid-19 pandemic.
