Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Md Tofazzal Hossain fixed the date on Thursday after the court granted bail to Amir Khasru in four cases out of eight.
The court could not hear the bail petitions of the four cases as those case records were with the Metropolitan Sessions Judges Court pending hearing on case against other accused in the same cases.
