A Dhaka court on Thursday fixed November 13 for hearing on charge framing of 11 cases, including a sedition case, filed against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
Judge Md Asaduzzaman of Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court set up at Keraniganj Central Jail adjourned Thursday’s hearing and fixed the new date.
Public Prosecutor Tapash Kumar Pal confirmed the matter.
The adjournment came following petitions submitted by the defence, citing different reasons.
Of the 11 cases, eight were filed with Darus Salam police station and two others were filed with Jatrabari police station for her role in BNP's vandalism during its hartal in 2015.
These 10 cases were filed by police, while a sedition case was filed against the BNP chief by a person.
Later in 2016, police submitted a charge sheet against Khaleda and others accused.
Along with Begum Zia, the notable accused in these cases are BNP leaders Amanullah Aman, Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohail and Sultan Salauddin Tuku.
