The Appellate Division Tuesday adjourned hearing on leave to appeal petition against the High Court (HC) verdict in the jail killing case until December 6, reports BSS.
The hearing started on November 7 after more than a year of filing of the petition.
Initiating the hearing for the second day, a senior counsel of the case, Anisul Haque, submitted that, "if we go through the trial court verdict, it could be clearly found that it was influenced by the interested quarter".
He said the four national leaders: Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, M Mansur Ali and AHM Quamruzzaman-who led the country's War of Liberation in absence of father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, were brutally killed inside the Dhaka central jail, which is the outcome of a deep conspiracy.
"It could be found in the evidences that politicians KM Obaidur Rahman, Shah Moazzem Hossain, Taher Uddin Thakur and Nurul Islam Monjur joined a meeting with Khandaker Mostaque Ahmed in Bangabhaban before the assassinations of the leaders.
"But the matter of conspiracy was totally ignored in the trial court verdict, even in the HC Division's judgment," he submitted.
Haque prayed for sending the case for retrial by presenting several evidences.
The court, however, asked the counsel to submit the evidences specifically, he claimed of influencing of the trial.
The Attorney General, chief counsel for State, also prayed for an order to send back the case to the trial court for retrial, saying the trial court and also the HC did not evaluate several vital witnesses and evidences during trial and appeal hearing.
