DHAKA, March 15, 2021 (BSS) – The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) today granted a leave to appeal petition of Oishee Rahman to seek acquittal in a case where she has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering her parents in 2013.
The apex court also dismissed a state plea against a High Court order that had commuted her death sentence to life imprisonment in 2017.
A four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain passed the order today.
“As a result of today’s order, Oishee got the chance to appeal against her life imprisonment sentence,” defence counsel Foysal H Khan said.
