Arrested actor Pori Moni today filed a criminal revision petition with the High Court challenging a lower court order that set September 13 to hear her bail application in a narcotics case.
Lawyer Md Mojibur Rahman submitted the petition on behalf of Pori Moni, saying the lower court has adjourned the hearing of her bail application for a long time, which is illogical.
In the petition, Pori Moni also sought bail from the HC in the case, HC sources said.
The HC bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice KM Zahid Sarwar Kajol may hold a hearing on the petition tomorrow, court sources said.
On August 22, Pori Moni filed a bail petition with a Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court challenging the lower court's bail rejection in the case filed under the Narcotics Control Act.
Judge KM Emrul Kayesh set September 13 for hearing on the bail petition, said her lawyer Mojibur Rahman.
On August 5, Pori Moni and her associate Ashraful Islam Dipu were shown arrested in the case filed by Rapid Action Battalion under the Narcotics Control Act.
The previous day, members of the elite force detained them after raiding their houses.
