Khaleda’s charge framing hearing adjourned till Jun 25

In the petition, Meshbah told the court that senior lawyer Masud Ahmed Talukder, who was supposed to argue in support of discharging Khaleda Zia from charges, went abroad and could not take part in yesterday's hearing. So, the hearing should be adjourned, the lawyer added.

On September 2, 2007, the Anti-Corruption Commission filed the case with Tejgaon Police Station against Khaleda and several others on charges of misappropriating around Tk 1,000 crore while dealing with Global Agro Trade (Pvt) Company Ltd (Gatco).
