The  learned  Advocate  Mr.  Md.  Yadnan  Rafique  appearing  on behalf of the appellant submits that out of total sentence of three years, the appellant already served more than two years in custody since his arrest on 20.10.2022. He prayed for bail.

The  learned  Advocate  Ms.  Chowdhury  Nasima  appearing  on behalf of the respondent No. 2 opposes application for bail.

I have gone through the impugned judgment and order passed by the Court below and the application for bail. Considering the long custody of the appellant and the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the appellant-petitioner on bail in pending appeal.

Pending hearing of the appeal, let the appellant Mizanur Rahman, son of Md. Ibrahim Mia be enlarged on bail for a period of 6(six) months from the date, subject to furnishing bail bond to the satisfaction of the Special Judge, Court No. 2, Dhaka.
