Special Judge Court-3 Justice Abu Ahmed Jomadar passed the order on Thursday, reports Dhaka Tribune.

The BNP chief was asked by the court earlier on December 15 to appear before it on December 22.
She did not appear in the court on December 15 to give her self-defence statements due to physical illness.
