A Dhaka court on Sunday deferred till August 5 the hearing on charge framing against Arafat Rahman Koko, younger son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, in a tax evasion case.
Judge (in charge) Dr Md Akhtharuzzaman fixed the date after Koko's counsel Sanaullah Miah submitted a petition seeking an adjournment on the hearing.
In the petition, the lawyer said the HC on June 9, 2010, issued a rule upon the government to explain why the proceedings in the case should not be declared illegal.
The hearing on the rule is still pending with the HC, he added.
So he prayed for an adjournment of the hearing, Sanaullah said.
The National Board of Revenue on March 1, 2010 filed the case against Koko for dodging taxes on his income of Tk 52.39 lakh for fiscal years 2002-03 to 2006-07.
