The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will hear on January 20 a leave to appeal petition Tarique Rahman, senior vice-chairman of BNP, filed against a High Court decision on a money laundering case.
The HC on September 29, 2010 rejected a writ petition Tarique filed challenging the proceedings of the money laundering case filed against him.
Tarique later filed a leave to appeal petition against the HC decision.
Chamber Judge SK Sinha on Monday fixed January 20 for hearing of the petition at a full court of the Appellate Division.
The ACC filed the money laundering case on October 26, 2009 with a Dhaka court against Tarique and his business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun on charges of illegally sending Tk 20.41 crore to Singapore between 2003 and 2007.
