Khaleda's candidacy hearing until today

The High Court (HC) has adjourned for today (Tuesday) the hearing on a writ petition filed challenging the cancellation of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia's candidature in three constituencies to contest the upcoming general election, reports UNB.

The one-member bench of Justice JBM Hassan passed the order on Monday following a petition by Khaleda's counsels seeking time.
