The high court has fixed Wednesday (December 22) to conduct hearing on a writ petition which was filed seeking permission to take BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia abroad for medical treatment.
A high court bench comprised of justice Mamnoon Rahman and justice Khandaker Diliruzzaman passed the order on Tuesday (December 21).
Lawyer Yonus Ali Akand filed the petition on Monday (December 20).
However, despite seeking permission and making urge to allow Khaleda Zia going abroad for treatment, the government said, it is not possible legally.
Khaleda, a 76-year-old former prime minister, has been receiving treatment at Evercare Hospital for various health complications since November 13.
Her medical board members said Khaleda immediately needs to go abroad for better treatment as she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.
On behalf of her family, Khaleda's younger brother, Shamim Iskander, submitted an application to the Home Ministry on November 11 urging the government to allow her to go abroad for better treatment.
Law Minister Anisul Huq recently said the government is looking for a legal option to allow Khaleda to go abroad for treatment.
