The High Court on Thursday granted bail to former Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC) Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy in two murder cases linked to the July uprising.

The HC bench of Justice KM Zahid Sarwar and Justice Sheikh Abu Taher passed the order after hearing separate bail petitions.

The cases were filed at Siddhirganj Police Station in Narayanganj on charges of killing Selim Mondal and Abdus Salam during the July 2024 uprising.

Ivy was shown arrested in the cases on March 2 and April 12 this year.

Meanwhile, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is set to deliver its order on Sunday on appeals filed against HC bail granted to the former NCC mayor in five other cases.

The Appellate Division bench, led by senior justice Mohammad Ashfaqul Islam, fixed the date on Monday.

The High Court granted bail to Ivy in the five cases on February 26 this year following separate bail petitions.

The state filed petitions with the Appellate Division seeking stay on the High Court orders of bail.

Following state’s petitions, the chamber judge of the Appellate Division on March 5 this year stayed the High Court orders and sent those petitions to the full bench for hearings.

Of the cases, four are murder cases filed at Fatullah Police Station over the killings of bus driver Abul Hossain Mizi, Abdur Rahman, Md Yasin and Parvez during the July uprising. Another case was filed at Narayanganj Sadar Model Police Station on charges of assault and obstructing public servants.

The former NCC mayor was shown arrested in the five cases on November 9 last year, when she secured HC bail in five additional cases.

The state moved the Appellate Division against the HC orders when the chamber judge on November 12 stayed the bail and sent the matter to the regular bench for hearing. The matter is still pending with the Appellate Division.

Ivy was picked up in the early hours of May 9 last year from her residence ‘Chunka Kutir’ in Narayanganj city’s Deobhog area and later shown arrested in multiple cases.
