A Dhaka court yesterday was once again forced to adjourn the hearing in two graft cases against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia and eight others due to chaos caused by defence lawyers.
The trial of Zia orphanage and Zia charitable trusts corruption cases is underway at the Special Judge Court-3. The same court was forced to adjourn on December 1 amid pandemonium.
Judge Basudev Roy yesterday recorded the statement of the complainant for half an hour and adjourned till December 17 the hearing on the two cases. It asked the former premier and four others, all on bail now, to appear before it on that day.
If the situation were normal, the court could have completed recording the statement of the complainant, said court sources.
