The High Court on Wednesday rejected the second time plea of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia expressing no confidence in the designated High Court division bench for rule hearing on the pending writ petition over her disputed Dhaka cantonment house, reports UNB.
Passing the order, a HC division bench comprising Justice M Imman Ali and Justice Obaidul Hassan held back for a week the hearing on the rule.
Emerging from the court, Khaleda''s lawyer Barrister Moudud Ahmed informed the reporters about the court order.
Without elaborating, he said his client expressed no confidence in this bench in the context of "special situation" and prayed for posting the matter to the Chief Justice for the rule hearing in another division bench. But it was rejected, he added.
Moudud, however, said they will move the Appellate Division against the High Court stand.
On the other hand, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told the reporters that the plea was made in "a bid to delay the case."
The petitioner wants to continue occupation of the disputed Cantonment lease-hold house taking advantage of the High Court stay order, he said.
On May 27 last year, the High Court upon a writ petition filed by former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia issued a rule asking the government to explain why the impugned May 24 house-vacating notice should not be declared illegal and in violation of the petitioner''s fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
The High Court had also stayed operation of the notice that asked ex-Prime Minister Khaleda Zia to makeover her leasehold Dhaka cantonment house to the government authorities.
