The High Court has set 28 May as the date for delivering its verdict on the appeal filed by Zubaida Rahman, wife of BNP's acting chairman Tarique Rahman, challenging her three-year prison sentence in a graft case.

The bench of Justice Md Khasruzzaman fixed the date after hearing a petition.

Advocate Asif Hasan stood for the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) while Advocate SM Shahjahan, Advocate Kaisar Kamal and Advocate Zakir Bhuiya represented the petitioner.

The case, filed by the ACC during the 2007 caretaker government, accused Tarique, Zubaida and another individual of acquiring wealth beyond known sources of income and concealing asset information. On 2 August 2023, a Dhaka court sentenced Tarique to nine years in prison and Zubaida to three years in prison.

On September 22 last year, the Security Services Division under the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a gazette suspending Zubaida's sentence for one year, following her petition and with the consent of the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.

On 14 May, Zubaida filed the petition with the HC seeking to overturn her sentence. The court accepted the petition for hearing and condoned a 587-day delay in filing the appeal.

Zubaida had left the country with her husband for London on 11 September 2008, where she lived for nearly 17 years before returning to Bangladesh on 6 May this year.
