The High Court on Wednesday shifted the Zia Charitable Trust graft case to Dhaka Special Judge's Court-5 from Special Judge's Court-3.

Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Shahidul Karim passed the order following a petition filed by BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.

Earlier, on Monday, Khaleda filed a petition with the High Court seeking its directive to transfer the case to another court from the Dhaka Special Judge's Court-3 of Abu Ahmed Jamadar.

Now the trial proceedings of the case will be held at the Dhaka Special Judge Court-5.

Advocate AJ Mohammad Ali and Zakir Hossain Bhuiya stood for Khaleda while Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan represented the ACC.

Besides, the HC earlier ordered the transfer of the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case to another court from the Senior Special Judge's Court of Dhaka following the petition on May 14.

On August 8, 2011, the ACC filed the Zia Charitable Trust graft case with Tejgaon Police Station accusing four people, including Khaleda Zia, of abuse of power in raising funds for the trust from unknown sources.

Besides, the ACC filed the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on July 3, 2008 with Ramna Police Station accusing Khaleda Zia, her eldest son Tarique Rahman, now living in the UK after securing bail, and four others for misappropriating over Tk 21. 0 million (2.10 crore) that came as grants from a foreign bank for orphans.
