The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) on Sunday cancelled the bail orders of two accused and stayed the bail orders of two others in a case filed over the trafficking of 26 Bangladeshis killed in Libya last year.

A four-member Appellate bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order, reports UNB.

Advocate Munsurul Haque Chowdhury and Advocate Ruhul Kuddus stood for the accused while Deputy Attorney General Bishwanath Debnath represented the state.

The bail orders of Kawsar Munshi and Mahabub Munshi were stayed while the bail of Sheikh Mahbub and Sheikh S ahidur was cancelled.
