Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court on Sunday set August 31 for holding a hearing on a plea of actress Pori Moni for bail in a case lodged under narcotics control act.
Judge KM Imrul Qayesh of the court set the date on Sunday.
The hearing date was fixed after the High Court’s August 26 rule, asking lower court concerned to reply as to why it shall not pass an order to hear Pori Moni’s bail within two days of receiving the HC order.
The High Court in its rule also asked as to why it shall not quash the lower court's August 22 order that had set September 13 for holding a hearing on the actress's bail plea in the narcotics case.
Pori Moni’s lawyer Advocate Mozibur Rahman filed the bail plea on August 22 and the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court had set September 13 for holding a hearing on the matter. The defence later moved to the High Court with the bail plea.
Rapid Action Battalion arrested Pori Moni on August 4 from her Banani residence and claimed that they had seized a huge amount of foreign liquors from there.
