‘Judgement errors’ in sentencing JMB kingpins to death reported
2007-02-11
An ‘error of judgement’ in sentencing the six militant kingpins to death has been reported and the full hierarchy the Supreme Court judges sit today to hear and mend the mistake. The Supreme Court that dismissed all the six applications for leave to appeal by the condemned JMB kingpins against their death sentences in the Jhalakati judges’ killing case would take up today the judgement for necessary correction, Attorney General’s office sources said. ‘The matter will come up for hearing as first item,’ one source in the AG office said, pleading ignorance about what has actually gone wrong with the judgement delivered on November 28, 2006 and what correction has to be made.

A seven-member full court of the Appellate Division had pronounced the verdict dismissing all the petitions for leave to appeal to overturn High Court confirmation of the capital punishment. Meanwhile, Shamsul Islam, counsel for Khaled Saifullah, one of the six condemned JMB militants and a suicide bomber, told the news agency that he had filed a petition for review of the judgement on his clientÂ’s death penalty.
