Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred hearing on charge framing in the Niko graft case.
Judge Sheikh Hafizur Rahman of the Special Judge Court-9 of Dhaka fixed the new date at the court set up in Building No. 2 of Keraniganj Central Jail after hearing.
As Khaleda Zia has been ill, she could not come to the court while the court granted the time petition of the defenses and fixed the new date.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case with Tejgaon Model Police Station in the capital against Khaleda Zia and five others on December 9, 2007, for not signing a transparent deal with Canadian Company Niko for exploring and extracting gas.
