ZIA Orphanage Case
Hearing on Khaleda's appeal June 12
The Supreme Court yesterday fixed June 12 for hearing an appeal filed by the BNP chairperson against a High Court verdict which cleared the way for proceedings on the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case against her at a lower court.
Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain set the date after Khaleda's lawyers moved a leave to appeal petition to fix the hearing date.
The High Court on December 14 last year, in a verdict, rejected a petition submitted by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to stop the proceedings against her in the case.
Khaleda filed the leave to appeal petition on March 6 with the SC through her lawyers challenging the HC verdict.
