A Dhaka Court on Sunday adjourned the hearing on charge framing against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, her elder son Tarique Rahman and four others till March 15 in connection with Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
Judge Muzammel Hossain of the Special Judge Court-3 passed the order following a time petition filed on behalf of Khaleda and Tarique.
Khaleda could not appear before the court due to security reasons while Advocate Sanaullah Miah represented Tarique as he has been receiving treatment abroad.
Two other accused Sharfuddin Ahmed and former BNP lawmaker Kazi Saleemul Haq Kamal were also absent from the court as they were busy with some other jobs.
The other accused, former principal secretary Dr Kamal Uddin Siddique and late Ziaur Rahman's nephew Mominur Rahman remain absconding since the filing of the case.
The Anti-Corruption Commission on August 5 last year pressed charges against Khaleda, Tarique and four others.
