Hearing on leave-to-appeal of Khaleda cantt house in full bench

BLHouse Report

The leave-to-appeal filed challenging a High Court verdict regarding BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's cantonment house is set to be heard at the full bench of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court today (Wednesday).

Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Md Muzammel Hossain yesterday after a short hearing sent the petition to the full bench and set today for hearing on it.

The Chamber Judge, however, didn't stay the HC judgment that rejected a Writ petition filed by Khaldeda Zia challenging a government notice that asked her to vacate the residence in Shaheed Mainul Road of Dhaka Cantonment.

Hearing on Jail Killing Case adjourned till Dec 6

Dhaka, Nov 9 (UNB)

The long pending leave-to-appeal hearing against the impugned High Court verdict in the Jail Killing Case was on November 9 adjourned halfway through, as the Attorney General could not satisfy the Appellate Division with proper argument for retrial of the case.

A 3-member Appellate Bench, headed by Chief Justice ABM Khairul Haque, adjourned the hearing until December 6, asking Attorney General Mahbubey Alam to come up with irrefutable evidence for making out his plea.
