The second International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) will issue an order on indictment of BNP leader Abdul Alim on Monday.
ICT-2 Chairman Justice A T M Fazle Kabir set the date on May 23 after hearing arguments.
Alim's counsel M Tajul Islam had argued for releasing him without framing charges against him while prosecutor Rana Dasgupta had argued for starting the trial.
Alim, a member of BNP founder Gen Ziaur Rahman's cabinet, had been arrested from his Joypurhat residence on Mar 27 last year. The ICT-1 had granted the 81-year-old conditional bail and extended it on several occasions.
In March this year, the case against Alim had been shifted to ICT-2 which started hearing on his indictment on Apr 24.
The prosecution had submitted a 3,909-page investigation report charging the former MP with seven types of crimes against humanity committed during the Liberation War of 1971.
It said he had been involved with 28 such crimes.
