UNB, Dhaka :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Wednesday asked both prosecution and defence to place the concise copy of verdict against war crimes convict Salauddin Quader Chowdhury by February 26.
A five-member bench, headed by Chief Justice M Muzammal Hossain passed the order upon a plea filed
by the counsel for Salauddin Quader seeking four weeks time to submit the verdict copy.
Salauddin Quader’s advocate on record, Joynal Abedin Tuhin, said the court granted two weeks time to submit the verdict copy.
On October 1 last year, the International Crimes Tribunal-1 sentenced BNP leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury to death for crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
On October 29, the BNP leader filed an appeal with the Appellate Division against the ICT verdict.
