The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is set to deliver its judgement on appeal against Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee’s death sentence in war crimes case on Wednesday, according to the Supreme Court website.
The five-member bench led by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain will give the order, says the cause list of court 3.
The rest four justices are Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah, Justice Hasan Foez Siddique and Justice AHM Shamsuddin Choudhury.
The tribunal handed down the death penalty to Sayedee on February 28 last year.
He appealed against the sentence seeking acquittal on March 28.
The government also lodged an appeal to specify the sentence in all the six charges that were proved at the tribunal.
The Appellate Division bench has so far disposed of the appeal case of Abdul Quader Molla, who was executed on December 12 in light of the top court’s verdict.
Six other appeals cases are pending with the court.
