Crimes Tribunal-2 may deliver the judgement on the war crimes case
against expelled Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abul Kalam Azad any day as the
proceedings of the case concluded on Wednesday.The tribunal however did not fix a date for the verdict.
The three-member tribunal led by Justice Obaidul Hasan will pronounce the verdict once it becomes fit for the pronouncement, Prosecutor Sahidur Rahman told reporters emerging from the courtroom.
Azad, who went into hiding, is facing eight specific charges of crimes against humanity that he had allegedly committed during the country's Liberation War in 1971.

According to the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973, the tribunal could give its verdict after completion of argument of the prosecution and the defence.
