The Supreme Court is set to deliver the judgment on the review petition filed bycondemned war criminal Muhammad Kamaruzzaman on Monday.
A four-member bench headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order after hearing the review petition on Sunday afternoon.
Kamaruzzaman’s lawyers filed the petition on March 5 seeking review of the death penalty upheld by the Appellate Division on November 3 last year.
The full text of the Appellate Division judgment was released on February 18 and the International Crimes Tribunal the following day issued a warrant to execute the death sentence.
On November 3, 2014, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld the tribunal verdict that had awarded death sentence to the Jamaat-e-Islami assistant secretary general for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
Kamaruzzaman was shifted to Dhaka Central Jail from Kashimpur Jail in Gazipur after the SC upheld his death penalty.
