No impediment to appeal hearing Oct 5

Chief Counsel of Bangabandhu murder case Anisul Haq yesterday said there is no impediment to appeal hearing of the case on October 5 despite filing of a petition regarding the delayed submission of concise statement.
“The Chief Justice will form a bench before October 5 for the hearing,” he told reporters after meeting Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shafique Ahmed at his Secretariat office in the afternoon.
Defence lawyers earlier filed a petition to the chief justice as the concise statement of the case was not filed within 30 days as directed by the High Court. They appealed for the hearing on this matter before the hearing of Bangabandhu murder case begins.
“This will not be a problem holding the hearing of the case,” Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told the reporters.
He said delay in bringing documents from one of the fugitives accused in Bangabandhu murder case from the United States delayed the submission of the concise statement to the court.
The chief counsel along with Attorney General Mahbubey Alam and some other lawyers met Shafique and State Minister for law Qamrul Islam to discuss the latest situation before the hearing resumes next week.
The Supreme Court yesterday fixed October 5 for hearing on the appeals in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman assassination case.
On August 15 of 1975, Father of the Nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was killed along with most of his family members by a band of disgruntled army men.
