Ron Haque Sikder, managing director of Sikder Group and his brother Dipu Haque Sikder are seeking permission to challenge their bail rejection order issued by the High Court (HC).
The two accused filed an application in this regard and chamber judge of the bench of Justice Nuruzzaman has sent the application to the Appellate Division for hearing on August 9.
Senior lawyer Ajamalul Hossain QC joined the virtual hearing on behalf of two brothers while Attorney General Mahbubey Alam accompanied with Deputy Attorney General Biswajit Debnath represented the state.
Earlier on 19 July, they filed an anticipatory bail plea to the High Court from Bangkok.
The next day, the High Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Ron Haque Sikder and his brother Dipu Haque Sikder in a case filed on charges of abducting, torturing and threatening to shoot two top officials of Exim Bank over loan permission.
The High Court bench of Justice Md Ashraful Kamal passed the order on Monday (20 July) during a virtual hearing.
The High Court bench also fined the siblings for wasting court time and directed Ron and Dipu to submit 10,000 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Prime Minister's relief fund for illegally applying for bail.
On May 28, the brothers were sued for an alleged attempt to murder by shooting, detaining and torturing Exim Bank MD Mohammad Hayder Ali Mia and additional MD Mohammad Firoz Hossain.
