The High Court will give its verdict on a petition challenging the legality of the repeal of the parole of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia's younger son Arafat Rahman Coco, on Oct 11, reports bdnews24.com.
The bench of justices Abdul Wahab Miah and Gazi Reza-ul-Huq gave the order Wednesday.
Huq said after the hearing that a right could not be withdrawn after it was given. "Coco's parole has been extended 20 times, but he was ordered to return home without showing a cause."
Coco has been in Bangkok on parole since July 19, 2008 after his release on bail. At that time, he had secured eight-week parole for treatment abroad. Coco was arrested on September 3, 2007 in the GATCO corruption case.
The latest extension of his parole expired on August 14. The home ministry decided on August 19 not to extend it any further and asked him to come back home by August 31, an order which the BNP and its different wings protested against.
Coco's parole cancellation decision October 11
