Verdict on Tarique-Zubaida's whereabouts on June 26

The High Court on Sunday fixed June 26 for pronouncing a verdict on whether Bangladesh Nationalist Party's Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman and his wife Zubaida Rahman are fugitives and whether they will be able to hire lawyers, reports UNB.
A bench comprising Judge Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Judge Kazi Md Ijarul Haque Akondo fixed the date after conducting a hearing for the third consecutive day.
Tarique and his wife Zubaida had submitted three separate writ petitions to the HC some 15 years ago, challenging a case filed against them for acquiring wealth beyond their known sources of income and concealing wealth in their affidavits.
The HC had issued a rule in this regard at that time. Tariq and Zubaida submitted another three writ petitions against the rule, asking for a hearing.
