The hearing of the state and ACC appeals against the High Court's verdict acquitting BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia from a seven-year sentence in the Zia Charitable Trust case has been fixed for March 2.
On Sunday (February 23) morning, the three-judge Appellate Division's senior justice Md. Ashfaqul Islam fixed the date for hearing the appeal. Earlier, on February 16, the state appealed to the Appellate Division against the High Court's verdict acquitting BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in the Zia Charitable Trust case.
The High Court bench of Justice AKM Asaduzzaman and Justice Syed Enayet Hossain gave the verdict on November 27 last year. Apart from Khaleda Zia, Haris Chowdhury's then private secretary Ziaul Islam and former mayor Sadeq Hossain Khoka's private secretary Monirul Islam Khan were also acquitted in the case.
