Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmmachari, the spokesperson of Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatani Jagran Jote, has applied for bail in the High Court in the sedition case on the charge of insulting the national flag of Bangladesh, a lawyer said on Monday.

In that case, a lower court in Chittagong, the port city of Bangladesh, on January 2 gave an order rejecting Chinmoy's bail application, he said.

"We have applied to the High Court on January 12 for Chinmoy's bail", Chinmoy's lawyer Apurba Kumar Bhattachariya, told ANI over the phone.

"We have mentioned to the court for hearing on Monday (today)", he said.

"The court will hear the case according to the serial of the pending cases. We hope the hearing will be held next week as the high court only hear the cases on Sunday and Monday," he added.

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatani Jagran Jote spokesperson, Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmmachari, applied for bail in the high court in the sedition case on the charge of insulting the national flag of Bangladesh, a lawyer said on Monday.

"We have applied to the High Court on January 12 for Chinmoy's bail", Chinmoy's lawyer Apurba Kumar Bhattachariya, told ANI over the phone.

"We will mention to the court for hearing on Monday (today)", he added.

Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested from Dhaka airport on November 25 last year.

On January 2, a lawyer representing Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das told the Chittagong court during the hearing on his bail plea that the priest respects the motherland like his mother and is not a traitor.

A court in Chittagong refused bail to Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former ISKCON leader, following the hearing held amid tight security, The Daily Star reported. The bail request was turned down by Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Saiful Islam after hearing both parties' arguments, according to Metropolitan Public Prosecutor Advocate Mofizur Haque Bhuiyan.
