A court official hung a notice on a wall beside the main gate of BNP chief Khaleda Zia's Gulshan residence, ordering her to appear before a Dhaka court in a sedition case.
Masud Khan, administrative officer of Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Court told the Dhaka tribune that nobody was there to receive the notice when court official Jabir Hoosain Bachchu went to Khaleda's residence.
“So, he hanged the notice in front of the house,” he said. “A hanged notice means it has been received by the accused.”
The court ordered Khaleda to appear before it on March 3, Masud added.
Supreme Court lawyer Momtaz Uddin Ahmed Mehedi, also an Awami League executive body member, filed the case after Khaleda questioned the number of Liberation War martyrs on December 21.
Momtaz served Khaleda a legal notice asking her to apologise to the nation. On Monday, the court recorded the complainant's statement and summoned Khaleda.
Around three million people were killed in the nine-month war against Pakistan in 1971.
