The Appellate Division has suspended the proceedings of four cases of violence filed against BNP Chairperson and former prime minister Khaleda Zia five years ago.

The cases filed with Darussalam and Jatrabari police stations accuse Khaleda of inciting violence during the anti-government blockade in 2015.

The top court also issued an order to dispose of a previous rule issued by the High Court on the allegations.

A five-judge virtual panel headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order on Monday.

Attorney General Mahbubey Alam appeared for the state, aided by Deputy Attorney General Biswajit Debnath, while lawyers Mahbub Uddin Khokon and Badruddoza Badal appeared for Khaleda.
