DHAKA, Jan 29, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set April 15 for
appearance of BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia before it in 11 cases lodged
against her.
Dhaka Metropolitan Session’s Judge Imrul Qayes set the date at the
temporary court set up in a newly constructed building in front of Keraniganj
Central Prison, allowing a time plea from the defence.
Of the cases, eight were filed with Darus Salam Police Station for carrying
out subversive activities, one for sedition and two other were filed with
Jatrabari Police Station.
Today was fixed for holding hearing on charge framing in 10 of those cases
and the court was scheduled to accept charge sheet in another case.
But the defence pleaded for time, saying proceedings of most of these
cases have been stayed by the High Court. The court after that deferred the
hearing.
