The court fixed the date on Sunday after hearing arguments in the special court set up at the Aliya Madrassa playground, next to Central Jail, in Old Dhaka.
There are 847 accused in the murder case filed over the killings at Peelkhana. BNP leader Gazi Nasiruddin Pintu is among the accused.
A total 70 including 57 army officers were killed in the Bangladesh Rifles mutiny that was staged from Feb 25 to 26 in 2009.
The trial for the mutiny has already been completed. The cases of loot and murder are being tried under the country’s regular laws.
The trials were conducted by Dhaka Judges Court (special circumstances) at the open field since there were a large number of accused.
After the bloody mutiny, the border forces, the known as BDR, was given a new name—BGB (Border Guards Bangladesh).
