The High Court today set July 14 to deliver verdict on two appeals filed by suspended Awami League leaders of Dhaka's Gendaria area Enamul Huq Enu and his brother Rupam Bhuiyan seeking bail in two money laundering cases involving Tk 2.17 crore.

The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman set the date after concluding hearing on the appeals. 

Defence lawyer Shaharia Kabir Biplab told The Daily Star that law enforcers recovered Tk 17.16 lakh from Enamul's residence and recovered Tk 1.99 crore from Rupam's residence in Dhaka's Wari area on September 24, 2019.

Two cases were filed with Sutrapur Police Station against Enamul and Rupam the same day, he said, adding that police arrested the two on January 13, 2010 from Keraniganj in the cases.

Enamul and Rupam filed two separate appeals recently with the HC challenging two lower court orders that earlier rejected their bail petitions in the cases.

They have been in jail custody for a long time and therefore, they should get bail in the cases, he said.

During crackdown in 2019, the Rapid Action Battalion reportedly found Tk 5.05 crore in cash, around 8.5kg gold, and six firearms in five lockers in the houses of Enamul and Rupam. Seven cases were filed against them.
