A Dhaka court on Wednesday set January 15 for the further deposition against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in two graft cases.

Judge Abu Ahmed Jamadar of special Judge court-3 passed the orders.

Earlier, Khaleda’s lawyer submitted two petitions.

The court accepted the petition citing her confinement over the last four days and her illness. But it rejected another petition seeking the adjournment of recording deposition.

The hearing was going on without BNP chief's absence.
