Earlier on December 5, the pro-BNP lawyers then started shouting and created chaotic situation in the courtroom. They chanted the slogan "We want justice," "Khaleda Zia has the right to get bail".
The chief justice, along with five other judges of the Appellate Division, left the courtroom.
After one and a half hours, the judges returned to the courtroom.
The pro-BNP lawyers did not leave the courtroom and shouting slogans, hampering court proceedings for about an hour.
After that the Chief Justice said, "There is a limit to everything. I have not seen such a situation in a courtroom before. This is unprecedented."
The court was unable to hear any other case afterwards because of chaos.
