The Supreme Court yesterday upheld four High Court orders that stayed the trial proceedings against BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia in three cases for vandalism and arson and one for defamation.

The apex court, however, asked the High Court to hear and dispose of the rules issued in connection with the cases.

With yesterday's orders, the SC has so far upheld 12 HC orders that stayed trial proceedings of 12 cases against Khaleda, her lawyer AM Mahbub Uddin Khokon told The Daily Star.
