Dhaka:  A money loan court in Dhaka on Sunday fixed 30 June for hearing the replies from Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) Chairperson Khaleda Zia in a Tk 45.49-crore loan default case over Dandy Dying Limited.

Judge Fatema Ferdous of Dhaka Money Loan Court-1 passed the order asking the lawyer of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to submit the written statement before the court on behalf of Khaleda.

The court also fixed 30 June for framing the issue of the case.

On 22 March, the same court had summoned the BNP chairperson and her co-defendants to appear before it on 12 April in the loan default case.

On 16 March, following a Sonali Bank plea, the court had agreed to enlist the name of BNP chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia, her late youngest son Arafat Rahman Koko's wife Sharmila Rahman and their two minor daughters on trial as inheritors of late Arafat Rahman Koko, one of the directors of the company, who passed away on 24 January this year year.

Earlier, on 8 March, Sonali Bank's senior executive officer Nazrul Islam filed the petition before the court as per order 22 and rule 4 of Code of Civil Procedure (CPC).

On 2 October 2012, Sonali Bank filed the case as the defendants failed to repay the loan after issuing a final notice.
