He, however, said a copy of the judgement was already sent directly to the concerned government representative or Dhaka's district magistrate, who is also the custodian of jail, to carryout the subsequent procedures under the law.
Mollah, 65, the fourth senior most Jamaat leader, is the first politician to be found guilty by the Supreme Court.
The prosecution lawyers said after the final verdict Mollah could now only seek presidential clemency within next seven days but the defence counsels said they would seek a revision of the judgement by the apex court itself under the law.
“I, however, don't think he (Mollah) has the scope to seek the revision since he was tried under a special law - International Crimes Tribunal Act which kept no provision for such review unlike the other criminal cases tried under the ordinary law,” Law Minister Shafique Ahmed told PTI.
Mollah is currently lodged in Sybarban Kashimpur Central Jail since September 18.
