SC now decides on Nov 30

The Supreme Court yesterday fixed November 30 for passing an order on an appeal filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia challenging the High Court verdict that had upheld the charge framing against her in Zia Charitable Trust corruption case.
A five-member bench led by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain, which scheduled to pass an order on the appeal yesterday, deferred the date.
Talking to The Daily Star, Khurshid Alam Khan, a lawyer of the Anti-Corruption Commission, said the court may examine Zia Charitable Trust's deed documents, which were submitted to the court on Monday, before passing the order.
A Dhaka court on March 19 framed charges against Khaleda and three others in the case.
The HC on April 23 upheld the indictment order against Khaleda by rejecting her petition. Khaleda on July 7 filed the leave to appeal petition with the SC against the HC order.
The ACC filed the case in 2011 accusing four people, including Khaleda, on the charge of  abusing power in setting up the charitable trust.
