The High Court has suspended the proceedings of most of the cases on behalf of Khaleda Zia.



A Dhaka court on Sunday fixed February 14 for hearing on charge framing of 11 cases, including one filed over sedition, filed against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.

Judge Md Asaduzzaman of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set up at Keraniganj Central Jail set the new date and adjourned today's hearing.

The High Court has suspended the proceedings of most of the cases on behalf of Khaleda Zia. That’s why, Khaleda Zia's lawyer requested to postpone the hearing, said Additional Public Prosecutor Tapash Kumar Pal.

Among the 11 cases, 10 were filed in the first three months of 2015 over arson attacks, while the other one was filed with a Dhaka court on charge of making seditious comments on freedom fighters and martyrs of the Liberation War on January 25, 2016.
