Charge framing in Zia orphanage case deferred
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred the hearing on charge framing against BNP chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia, her elder son Tarique Rahman and four others in connection with Zia Orphanage Trust graft case till October 10.
With this, the court had adjourned the hearing on charge framing for nine consecutive dates following time petitions on behalf of the accused.
Judge Mohammad Mozzamel Hossain passed the order after defence lawyer for Khaleda and Tarique submitted a petition seeking an adjournment of the hearing.
Two other accused former BNP lawmaker Kazi Salimul Haq Kamal and businessman Sharfuddin Ahmed were present at the court while former principal secretary Dr Kamal Uddin Siddique and late president Ziaur Rahman's nephew Mominur Rahman remain absconding.
