As the accused were absconding, the court issued arrest warrants against them.
"Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Mohammad Zakir Hossain Galib issued the warrant accepting the ACC charge sheet in the case,” the statutory graft agency’s prosecutor Mir Ahammed Salam told reporters.
He said the judge asked ACC to submit its investigation report on May 4 for hearing the charge involving the piece of leased out land by state-run Rajdhani Unyan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) in Purbachal area on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka.
The ACC filed the case against the deposed premier on January 12, 2025, and the other co-accused, mostly government officials.
