Dhaka, Apr 16 (bdnews24.com) Pro-BNP and Pro-Jamaat-e-Islami lawyers have demanded a provision for a regular appeal in the war crimes trial.
Otherwise, they suggested, the law would not ensure justice to those accused, at a seminar in Dhaka on Friday.
However, according to Section 21 of the Amendment to the International Crimes (Tribunal) Act, a party has the right to appeal to the Appellate Division against a sentence, conviction or acquittal within 60 days of the ruling.
.
Apeal provition is there but no scope to delay the justice by securing stay in the high court. Justice delayed justice denied.
No more deception...
