The ICT-2, headed by Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury, passed the order, allowing a plea filed by the Chief Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam. The tribunal passed the order as Mozaffar was produced before the court in line with its production warrant, this morning.

The second tribunal on July 21 ordered the production of Major (retd) Mozaffar Hossain before it today.
