The High Court has adjourned the hearing on photographer Shahidul Alam’s bail petition in a case under the ICT Act till Thursday (Oct 4).
A bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice SM Mozibur Rahman put off the hearing on Wednesday (Oct 3) after additional deputy attorney general Momtaj Uddin Fakir sought a time extension.
Fakir sought the time after the plaintiff’s counsel Sara Hossain finished her hearing on the bail petition.
Shahidul Alam was arrested in a case filed under Section 57 of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act on Aug 5 night, few hours after he had given an interview to Qatar-based television channel Al Jazeera on the student protests for road safety.
