Verdict on Khaleda's cantt house on Oct 13
The High Court (HC) yesterday fixed October 13 to deliver judgment on the writ petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia challenging the government notice asking her to vacate the cantonment residence.
After holding hearing for 22 working days, an HC bench of Justice Nazmun Ara Sulatana and Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif set the date for delivering verdict.
On May 24 last year, the government issued a final notice asking Khaleda Zia to hand over her cantonment house to the Military Estate Officer by June 30 of that year.
Following a writ petition filed by Khaleda Zia, the HC on May 27 last year stayed the operation of the notice for three months. The court also issued a rule upon the government to explain why this notice should not be declared illegal.
Later, the stay order was extended several times.
The HC bench headed by Justice Nazmun Ara Sultana started final hearing on the writ petition on June 6 this year.
Earlier, on May 23, the then Chief Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim sent the writ petition to this bench for its hearing as Khaleda expressed no trust in another bench of Justice Md Imman Ali and Justice Obaidul Hasan.
Advocate TH Khan appeared for the petitioner, while the Attorney General Mahbubey Alam argued for the state.
