Khaleda’s plea to re-investigate graft case rejected

Staff Correspondent: The Supreme Court has upheld a High Court order that rejected a petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia seeking its order for re-investigation into the Zia Orphanage Graft case against her.

A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha passed the order on Sunday.

The High Court on March 9 rejected Khaleda’s petition seeking its order for a fresh probe into a portion of Zia Orphanage corruption case against her. Khaleda filed the petition with the High Court on March 1.

The ACC filed the case on July 3, 2008 accusing Khaleda, her elder son Tarique Rahman and four others for misappropriating over Tk 2.10 crore.
