Earlier today, the magistrate prayed a time plea to submit the judicial probe report before the court. Later, the court granted the time prayer and also fixed January 5 for the next hearing of this case.
An HC bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order on Thursday.
Supreme Court lawyer Advocate Mohammad Shishir Monir confirmed the matter to The Business Post.
Earlier on September 24, the High Court ordered the authorities concerned to conduct a judicial inquiry of an abduction case of a girl who was thought to have been raped and murdered before being found alive 51 days after her disappearance.
Earlier on 27 August, the HC summoned two investigation officers (IO) with all the documents of the abduction case.
The court also ordered the investigation officers to submit written explanations before the court on September 17.
Later on September 17, the HC fixed September 24 to deliver the verdict on a revision appeal challenging police for arresting three people and taking their confessional statements in the case filed over the alleged murder of the schoolgirl who later returned home alive in Narayanganj.

The trio -- Md Abdullah, 22, Md Rakib, 19, and Khalilur Rahman, 36, -- have been in jail since confessing before the court.
According to the Narayanganj Sadar police, on August 23, the girl returned home and currently, she is with her family.
