The much awaited verdict of BDR carnage case, the largest killing case of the country, will be delivered on November 5.
Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman set the date Wednesday morning.
Court sources said the deferral was made because the judge could not finish writing down the verdict.
Earlier on October 21, the judge set October 30 to deliver the verdict. But, the schedule was deferred and no official reasons were cited.
On February 25, 2009, BDR Jawans spearheaded a 33-hour bloody 'rebellion' that left 74 people, including the then director-general of BDR and 57 top army officials, dead.
Current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had been voted in to to power a month previously.
After the mutiny, BDR was refurbished into what is now Border Guard Bangladesh, BGB.
A criminal case was filed with Lalbagh police. It was later transferred to New Market police.
After more than a year of investigation, the Criminal Investigation Department pressed charges against 824 people in 2010.
The accused included former BNP lawmaker Nasir Uddin Ahmed Pintu and Awami League ward-level leader Torab Ali. Both of them are in prison now.
Subsequently another supplementary charge sheet included another 26 BDR personnel to be indicted.
On October 20 last year 11 special military courts gave 5,926 BDR rebels various jail terms and acquitted 115 others.
