SC hears all review petitions Jan 24
January 21, 2010
The Supreme Court on January 24 will hear all the five review petitions filed by five detained convicted killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The Appellate Division on Thursday fixed the date for hearing the petitions filed by convicted prisoners Syed Farooq Rahman and Mohiuddin Ahmed against the SC judgment confirming their death sentence.
The two convicts filed the review petitions on January 19 while three others submitted their petitions on January 10 and 12.
The apex court on Thursday fixed the date following a prayer moved by Advocate Anisul Huq, chief state counsel in Bangabandhu case.
Earlier on January 13, the SC fixed January 24 for hearing the review petitions filed by three other convicts — Bazlul Huda, AKM Mohiuddin Ahmed amd Sultan Shahriar Rashid Khan.
Advocate Anisul Huq told The Daily Star that the Supreme Court will hear all the five review petitions simultaneously.
On November 19 last year, the SC confirmed death sentence to a dozen ex-army personnel including the detained ones. Of the seven others, one died and six are on the run.
