POBNEWS24, Dhaka Dec 1, 2024 : The High Court (HC) today acquitted all the people convicted by the lower court in the murder and explosives substances act cases filed over the grenade attack on an Awami League rally in the capital’s Bangabandhu Avenue on August 21, 2004.
A High Court division bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain pronounced the verdict, scrapping the lower court judgment in the two cases.
The court came up with the verdict after holding a hearing on the death references, criminal and jail appeals filed in the two cases.
“Death Reference is rejected, all appeals are allowed,” said the identical judgments.
The High Court bench concluded its hearing on November 21 and kept the matters on the Curia Advisory Vault (CAV), a Latin legal term meaning the court awaits the verdict. The two case matters came up on the cause list for today.
