The High Court on Tuesday accepted for hearing the writ petition that sought its directive to allow BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia to go abroad for advanced treatment.
An HC bench comprising Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Khandaker Diliruzzaman may hold hearing on the petition on Wednesday as it will be included in the day’s cause list.
Supreme Court lawyer Md Eunus Ali Akond, also petitioner of the writ, told media in this regard. He filed the writ petition with HC on Monday.
Khaleda Zia has been in the critical care unit of Dhaka's Evercare Hospital, where she is receiving treatment for liver cirrhosis, since November 13.
The BNP chief’s doctors have said she needs a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, a medical procedure available only in countries such as Germany, UK and US.
