The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Wednesday, November 12, stayed the High Court’s order granting bail to former Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) mayor Selina Hayat Ivy in five cases, including one over murder.

The chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Md Rezaul Haque passed the order after hearing a petition filed by the state.
