International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) head Justice Nizamul Huq has rejected a petition seeking his removal and termed it 'outrageous and contemptuous'.
He also termed 'preposterous' and 'unheard of' the petition by defence lawyers of Jamaat-e-Islami leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee.
The lawyers for Sayedee had appealed that Huq remove himself from the tribunal given his prior involvement with a people's inquiry commission in 1993 and 1994 when the tribunal chairman allegedly collected evidence against Sayedee.
Sayedee is being tried on 20 counts of war crimes charges that include genocide, murder, rape, arson and loot during Bangladesh's Liberation War of 1971.
