A Dhaka court yesterday deferred hearing in the two cases filed against BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia to November 17.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Asaduzzaman Nur of the CMM Court of Dhaka passed the order fixing the new date responding to a time plea as the BNP leader was ill in a hospital. Khaleda Zia’s lawyer Masud Ahmed Talikder sought the time on behalf of his lawyer.
