The government has filed a petition with the Appellate Division's chamber court seeking a stay on the High Court order that granted bail to former minister Abdul Latif Siddiqui and journalist Monjurul Alam Panna in a case filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Assistant Attorney General Ibrahim Khalil today (6 November) told journalists that the chamber court of Justice Md Rezaul Haque is likely to hear the petition.

He added that the Appellate Division has fixed next Sunday for the hearing on the matter.
