Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain set the date after hearing on Monday.

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam and Deputy Attorney General Amit Talukder represented the state during August 6 hearing. AF Hasan Arif and Md Ujjal Hossain stood for Noab.
Later, the government appealed against the ruling.
Last month, Minister Obaidul Quader said a gazette will be published after the Cabinet approves recommendations for implementing the Ninth Wage Board.
Quader said they made realistic recommendations after discussions with the stakeholders.
