10:40 am

At the very beginning of the day’s proceedings Mr. Tanvir Ahmed Al amin (TAA) submits that the Accused is a Diabetic patient so he need to take food time to time even in the doc.

Charirman (CH)- yes he can take food, but at your own risk.

TAA- much obliges.

The Chairman (Ch) called up the List of the day.

10:41am

Prosecution Witness No.2 (PW 2), Mr. Ruhul Amin Nobin (RA) took Oath again. He continues his examination in chief. There was no question from the Prosecution. His statements appeared that he was reading out the statement.

At about 11.10 am when PW2 was telling the names of the person who were converted from Hindu to Muslim during the liberation the prosecution lawyer dictated some missed out names to the PW2.

TAA objected for leading question.

Ch – it is not leading question. It is just linking him to the next event. Leading question is not allowed. But linking is allowed(!?!)[Bloggers Comment:is there any deference between leading an linking?].

TAA – continued objection as names of some victims were not told by the PW2 while it was recorded.

Ch – directed the typing officer to delete that name.

12:14 pm

Ch- to Prosecutor Hyder Ali (HA) - What do you suggest shall we Complete this PW and then call other PW’s for chief?

H/A- NO.

Judge Jahir (JA)- Consult with Defense counsle Mijanul Islam (MI).

MI - We have no objection if you want to hear examination in chief of other PW’s. But the normal practice is to finish chief and cross together for every witness.

Then the Tribunal adjourned till Sunday.
