Khaleda’s verdict copy to release this afternoon

The certified copy of the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case’s 632-page verdict will be handed over to Khaleda Zia’s lawyers by this afternoon.

Confirming the news, a source at the court said that 3-4 staffs are working relentlessly to prepare the verdict copy under the supervision of Judge.

The 632-page certified copy of the verdict increased by 546-page after transforming it into cartridge paper, it added.

Mokarrom Hossen, bench clerk of Dhaka special Judge Court-5 also confirmed the matter to Jago News at 12 noon on Monday.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s lawyers are waiting for the certified copy of the verdict to file an appeal for Khaleda Zia’s release.

Earlier on February 8, a Dhaka special court-5 convicted Khaleda Zia and sentenced her to five-year rigorous imprisonment in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.

She was then sent to the old central jail at Nazimuddin Road in the city.
