Justice Obaidul Hassan and Justice Krishna Debnath granted the bail on Sunday.
Lawyers for Zainul and Khokon said they will be on bail until police submit the report in the case.
Moudud Ahmed and Sagir Hossain Leon represented Zainul Abedin at the hearing while Deputy Attorney General Jahangir Alam represented the state.

As many as 180 people had been accused in each of the three cases.
