SC order on Khaleda's leave to appeal today

The Supreme Court will pass an order today on a leave to appeal filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia challenging the High Court's order that cleared way for a Dhaka court to continue trial in a graft case filed against her.

A five-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah, who is discharging the responsibilities of the chief justice, fixed the date yesterday.

On August 20, the HC cleared the way for the Senior Special Judge's Court-5 of Dhaka to continue trial proceedings of Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case filed against Khaleda and others.
