Court warns Khaleda of framing charges in absentia
A Dhaka court yesterday warned BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia of framing charges against her in absentia in 11 lawsuits, including a sedition one, if she fails to appear before it on April 10.
Judge Kamrul Hossain Mollah of the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court passed the order after Khaleda moved separate petitions before the court seeking her non-appearance.
Moreover, Khaleda had earlier filed separate writ petitions with the High Court seeking quashment of the case proceedings which are now pending.
Earlier on March 14, the same court warned of framing charges against her in the cases if she fails to appear before the court yesterday.
Of the 11 cases, 10 were filed in the first three months of 2015 over arson attacks on vehicles. And the other was filed with a Dhaka court for making seditious comments about freedom fighters and the Liberation War martyrs.
