The Bangladesh Supreme Court will deliver its verdict on a review plea against the death penalty for war crimes filed by war criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury in a little while from now.
The verdict is expected to be delivered at 11.30 a.m. local time, the Daily Star quoted its sources at the Supreme Court, as saying.
The Appellate Division's four-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, set the time after review hearing was completed.
That is the same time the apex court has set to deliver the verdict of another war crimes trial - the order on Jamaat-e-Islami leader Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mojaheed's review plea.
Chowdhury's review hearing began from 9.10 a.m. and lasted little more than an hour. The hearing was scheduled to take place yesterday, but was later pushed to today.
Sentenced to die for war crimes, SQ Chowdhury on October 14 filed the review petition to the SC seeking acquittal on all the charges levelled against him.
The International Crimes Tribunal issued death warrant for him on October 1, a day after the Supreme Court released its full verdict of the appeal hearing.
