The High Court is scheduled to deliver the verdict on death references of 152 people convicted of killings during the 2009 BDR mutiny and their appeals against the death penalty on Sunday.
The death reference and appeals have been kept as item No 1 of High Court’s cause list for Sunday.
A two-member HC bench comprising Justice Md Abu Zafor Siddique and Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder is scheduled to pronounce the judgment.
Earlier on April 3 last, a three-member special HC bench, led by Justice Shawkat Hossain, kept the verdict as Curia Advisari Vult (CAV) after concluding the hearing on the appeals and the death reference.
A Dhaka court on November 5, 2013 sentenced 152 soldiers of the erstwhile Bangladesh Rifles and two civilians to death, and 161 others to life imprisonment for their involvement in the BDR mutiny.
A total of 257 appeals were filed with the High Court against the lower court verdict.
Seventy-four people, including 57 army officials, were killed in the BDR mutiny on February 25-26 in 2009 at the Pilkhana headquarters in Dhaka, says a UNB report.
The paramilitary force was later renamed Border Guard Bangladesh.
