The Money Loan Court-1 of Dhaka yesterday fixed September 10 as new date to frame issue in a case filed for loan default of over Tk 45 crore of Dandy Dyeing Limited.
The court fixed the date after hearing the time petition submitted on behalf of the defendants. However, Begum Khaleda Zia, one of
 the defendants, submitted her written objection to the court on July 14. The court asked other defendants to submit their written replies on the day; otherwise, the court will frame issue on the scheduled date.
Other defendants include Khaleda’s eldest son Tarique Rahman, her late brother Sayeed Iskander’s wife Nasrin Ahmed, his sons Shams Iskander and Shafin Iskander and daughter Sumaiya Iskander, Tarique’s business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun and Mamun’s wife Shahina Begum and Kazi Galib Ahmed, Sharmila Rahman, the widow of BNP chief’s younger son Arafat Rahman Koko, and their two daughters.
The Sonali Bank Limited filed the case loan default that accumulated to Tk 45.49 crore. As Koko died, the court, on March 16, allowed the inclusion of Khaleda Zia, Koko’s wife Sharmila Rahman and two daughters as defendants in the case.
Sonali Bank’s lawyer Jahangir Hossain filed a petition seeking summon of the court against the defendants.
Advocate Joynul Abedin Mezbah stood for the defendants, while Advocates Jahangir Hossain and Hosne Ara Begum appeared to the court on behalf of the plaintiff.
