The High Court on Monday ordered authorities to send detained BNP leader Sadeque Hossain Khoka to the BIRDEM Hospital and asked them why he should not get regular bail.
The bench of Justices Salma Masud Chowdhury and F R M Nazmul Ahsan issued the order and the rule after hearing a bail petition of BNP Vice Chairman Khoka.
Dhaka district's Deputy Commissioner was given a week to respond.
Barrister Moudud Ahmed argued for the former Dhaka Mayor at the hearing. Additional Attorney General M K Rahman and Deputy Attorney General Khandker Diliruzzaman stood for the state.
"The court ordered the jail authorities to immediately send him (Khoka) to the BIRDEM Hospital and issued a rule on his bail. It also asked for submission of a new petition if the doctors at the BIRDEM Hospital advise transferring him to another hospital," Moudud said.
The same bench granted temporary bail to five opposition MPs on Sunday and issued a rule asking why the opposition leaders who appealed for bail should not get regular bail.
A total of 42 leaders of the BNP, its allies and their associate organisations had been sent to jail in a case over torching a bus in front of the Prime Minister's Office during a shutdown on Apr 29.
Thirty-five senior leaders of the 18-Party Alliance, arrested in the case, appealed to the High Court against the May 23 rejection of their bail by a Sessions Judges' Court. The arrested leaders include BNP Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
Those who got interim bail from the High Court on Sunday are BNP MPs M K Anwar, Mahbub Uddin Khokan and Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, and Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) MP Oli Ahmed and Bangladesh Jatiya Party (BJP) MP Andaleeve Rahman Partho.
The court also said on Sunday that it would hear the petition of Khoka on Monday.
