Hearing on Zia orphanage case deferred

Staff Correspondent
The High Court yesterday deferred for a week the hearing on a rule issued earlier by it over the proceedings against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in Zia Orphanage Trust case. The hearing earlier set to start yesterday was fixed on November 30. The HC bench of Justice Mohammad Anwarul Haque and Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah deferred the hearing following a time prayer moved by counsels for Khaleda Zia. The Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case against Khaleda, her son Tarique Rahman and five others on July 3, 2009.
