The Chief Justice assigned on Wednesday a new bench to hear pleas by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in three corruption cases, reports bdnews24.com.
The pleas over Barapukuria coal mine, Gatco and Niko graft cases will be heard by Justice Md Nuruzzaman and Justice Zafar Ahmed.
Earlier, Justices Md Moinul Islam Chowdhury and JBM Hassan were hearing the pleas when Khaleda's appeal for the scrapping of the Barapukuria case against her reached the verdict stage.
The verdict, scheduled on Sunday, was, however, not delivered after Khaleda's lawyers urged the chief justice to change the bench. The judges then referred all three cases to the Chief Justice for the 'next order'.
"Khaleda Zia had four pleas in three cases. The Chief Justice has assigned a new bench to hear her pleas," said ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan.
