ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan said that they would place arguments elaborately on the points on which the apex court had granted the leave-to-appeal petitions against the HC order and stayed the bail of Zia.
On the other hand, Khaleda’s Lawyer has planned to argue on the grounds of Zia’s ill health to secure her a bail. Khan argued that Khaleda’s lawyers failed to submit supporting documents to prove that she was ill.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam said that adequate preparations were done for placing arguments in support of government appeal.
Khaleda’s lawyer Kayser Kamal said that BNP Chief Khaleda had submitted two concise statements on the petitions as per the Supreme Court directives.
Earlier in February Khaleda was been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case. The case relates to corruption over the misuse of funds in a charity named after former President Zia-ur-Rahman, the former’s husband, who was assassinated in 1981.
