The High Court has granted bail to 61 pro-Awami League lawyers in a case filed over the assault and attempted murder of fellow lawyers during the anti-discrimination student movement.

The bench of Justice Abu Taher Mohammad Saifur Rahman and Justice Kazi Ebadot Hossain granted the bail on Tuesday and yesterday following 15 bail petitions filed by the accused lawyers, said Additional Attorney General Abdul Jabbar Bhuiyan.

The HC has granted the bail considering that there were no specific allegations against the accused lawyers, he said.

The case was filed against 144 pro-AL lawyers over allegations of attacking members of the Dhaka Bar Association, vandalising lawyers' chambers, and attempted murder during the July uprising.
