A bench of Justice Md Abdul Hye and Justice Krishna Debnath has given the ‘carte blanche’ on Tuesday.
The convict has been identified as Md Akbar Ali, who hails from Gopinathpur village in Shahjadpur Upazila of Sirajganj.
On August 23, 2009 Sirajganj District Judge Biplob Goswami had awarded him the death penalty.
Ayesha's father filed a case against his son-in-law over the incident.
Deputy Attorney General Md Moniruzzaman Rubel said,"This is an exceptional verdict. There are enough evidences that Akbar threw acid on his wife. Akbar also failed to prove his innocence or that his crime is trivial before the court. So, the Court upheld the death penalty."
