Former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque has secured six months’ bail in an attempted murder case filed with Banani Police Station in Dhaka.

A High Court bench of Justice KM Zahid Sarwar and Justice Sheikh Abu Taher issued the order on Monday.

With bail granted in all cases against Justice Khairul, there is now no legal obstacle to his release from jail, his lawyer Motahar Hossain Saju said.
