Dhaka: The High Court will hear on February 22 a petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia expressing no-confidence in the judge of the trial court  which is dealing with the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case, Judge Abu Ahmed Jamadar.

An HC bench led by Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Shahidul Karim fixed the date following a time petition filed by Khaleda's lawyer.

Senior lawyer A J Mohammad Ali and Barrister Badrudddoza Badal stood for Khaleda and lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan for ACC.
