The verdict of the graft case filed against 17 people, including deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana and niece British MP Tulip Siddiq, will be delivered on December 1 (Monday).
Judge Md Rabiul Alam of the Special Judge's Court-4 of Dhaka set the date after hearing arguments from both prosecution and defence, said Belal Hossain, bench assistant of the court.
On November 23, the Special Judge's Court-5 of Dhaka fixed November 27 to deliver the verdicts in three other graft cases filed against 23 people, including Hasina, her daughter Saima Wazed Putul and son Sajeeb Wazed Joy.
In addition, the trial of two other graft cases filed against 21 people, including Hasina, her nieces Azmina Siddiq and Tulip, and nephew Radwan Mujib Siddiq, is now pending at the Special Judge's Court-4, said the prosecution.
The anti-graft body -- between January 12 to 14 -- lodged six separate cases with its Dhaka Integrated District Office-1 over alleged irregularities in the allocation of plots under the Purbachal New Town project.
The ACC alleged that Hasina, in collusion with senior Rajuk officials, unlawfully secured six plots -- each measuring 10 kathas, in the diplomatic zone of Sector 27 of the Purbachal New Town project for herself, her daughter Saima Wazed Putul and son Sajeeb Wazed Joy; Rehana and her son Radwan and daughter Azmina despite their ineligibility under existing regulations.
On March 25, the ACC filed six charge sheets with the Metropolitan Senior Special Judge's Court in Dhaka where Hasina was named as a common accused in all six cases.
On July 31, charges were framed against 29 people, including Hasina, Rehana, Joy, Putul, Bobby, Tulip and Azmina, in their respective cases.
