Hearing on Limon's case deferred for 10th time

A Jhalakathi court yesterday deferred for the tenth time the hearing on charge framing in the arms case against college student Limon Hossain.
Judge Kiron Shankar Halder of the Special Tribunal-2 deferred the date on a petition filed by the defence lawyers, seeking extension of time. He fixed the next date for hearing on charge framing in the case on June 30.
Limon, who used to work at a brick kiln to bear his educational expenses, was maimed by Rab shooting near his house at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila of Jhalakathi on March 23, 2011. His left leg was amputated from the thigh on March 27.
On March 23, 2011, Rab filed two cases with local police station, accusing Limon and seven others of possessing illegal arms and obstructing law enforcers from carrying out their duties.
