Charges Against Tarique: Decision on cognisance Feb 10

A Dhaka court Wednesday fixed February 10 to decide whether money-laundering charges against BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman and his business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun would be taken into cognisance.
Judge Mohammad Zahurul Haque of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order after the defendants submitted a petition seeking adjournment of the hearing.

He filed a leave-to-appeal petition with the Supreme Court, which now awaits hearing on February 6.
