Rule 11 |
The language of Rule 11(3) admits of no ambiguity and therefore, there is hardly any scope for interpretation. The intention of the law makers is manifested in the express words used in sub-rule 3 leaving no scope to doubt that such power of granting bail by the appellate Court has been taken away by express provisions.

Rule 19 Cha |
Section 498 provides for jurisdiction of the High Court Division and the Sessions Judge in granting bail under section 498 and application under section 498 cannot be entertained by any other Court, other than the High Court Division and the Sessions Judge and therefore, when the law makers mentioned section 498 they knew they were ousting the jurisdiction of the High Court Division and the Sessions Judge in entertaining applications under section 498 and therefore, the ouster has been deliberately done with manifest intention and by express words. Non-mention of the names of the Courts is irrelevant for the purpose. State vs Moyezuddin Sikder 60 DLR (AD) 82. |
