Talking to The New Nation the senior lawyer of the Supreme Court said, "As the government knows that the apex court set November 29 for further hearing on leave-to-appeal filed by Khaleda Zia regarding her residence. After that it evicted her from the house. So, it is indirectly a contempt of court."
