A petition has been filed with the High Court seeking an order to move BNP chief Khaleda Zia to a specialized hospital.
The plea filed on Sunday wants the court to order the prison authorities to initiate measures, said counsel Barrister Mahbub Uddin Khokon.
A three times prime minister, Khaleda is now serving a five-year sentence in Zia Orphanage Trust graft case.
She has been kept at the jailhouse on Nazimuddin Road in Old Dhaka.
