Bangla supremes overrule stay on Hasina trial
 Endorsing the government plea, the Supreme Court yesterday overruled the High Court order that stayed the trial of detained former prime minister Sheikh Hasina in an extortion case at a makeshift court.Following a writ petition filed by Sheikh Hasina, the High Court on Sunday stayed the trial proceedings of the Tk 3-crore extortion case. The High Court had also issued a rule upon the government to explain why the November 26 gazette notification directing the Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge to hold the trial of Hasina and two others at a makeshift court "should not be declared without lawful authority".
