Metropolitan Magistrate Erfanullah fixed 13 May for the hearing on the petition.
In the charge sheet, 18 people have been named as witnesses to the spell of violence.
BNP Standing Committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain condemned the charge sheet as ?false, fabricated, baseless and imaginary?. He alleged that all the 18 witnesses are either government employees or policemen.
Seven of the 45 accused persons, including BNP joint secretary-general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed, Rehana Akter Dolly, Kamruzzaman Ratan, Manik Ratan, Sohel alias Sohel Miah and Jasimuddin, are already in jail.
Another joint secretary-general, Mahbub Uddin Khokon MP, recently got bail from the court.
Tejgaon zone Deputy Commissioner Imam Hossain had filed the case under the speedy trial act on 29 April, accusing Mirza Fakhrul and others of involvement in the incident of vandalising and torching a motor vehicle near the PMO during hartal hours.
The charge-sheeted accused include BNP Standing Committee member Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, Liberal Democratic Party president Col (retd) Oli Ahmed, BNP leaders Amanullah Aman, Fazlul Huq Milon, Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu, Nazimuddin Alam, Saiful Alam Nirob, Habibunnabi Sohel, Mir Sharfat Ali Shapu, Sultan Salauddin Tuku, Amirul Islam Khan Alim, Anisur Rahman Talukder Khokon, Habibur Rashid Habib and Abdul Matin, Islami Chhatra Shibir president Delwar Hossain, Bangladesh Jatiya Party president Andalib Rahman Partho, and National People?s Party president Sheikh Shawkat Hossain Nilu.
The case was filed with Tejgaon Police Station.
Another case was filed with Shahbagh Police Station against Mirza Fakhrul and 27 others on a charge of involvement in the explosion of a cocktail bomb inside Bangladesh Secretariat the same day.
Among the accused are BNP Standing Committee member ASM Hannan Shah, vice-chairman Sadeque Hossain Khoka, Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Goyeshwar Chandra Roy, Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, Amanullah Aman, Abdus Salam and LDP president Oli Ahmed.
Investigation report of this case is yet to be submitted.
The previous week, over 5,000 named and unnamed leaders and activists of the main opposition BNP and its front organisations were accused in two other cases filed in connection with vandalising and torching motor vehicles, including a police van, and violent clashes between law enforcers and opposition activists in the capital?s Nayapaltan area.
The accused include Juba Dal president Moazzem Hossain Alal, Swechchhasebak Dal president Habibunnabi Sohel, Juba Dal leader Rafiqul Alam Majnu, Chhatra Dal leaders Habibur Rahman Habib and Ishaq Sarkar.
Shortly after the filing of the case, the law enforcers launched a massive hunt for BNP leaders and activists in the capital, netting at least six of the accused, including Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, Rehana Akter Dolly, Kamruzzaman Ratan, Manik Ratan, Sohel alias Sohel Miah and Jasimuddin.
The BNP and its allies have been agitating in protest against the disappearance of BNP leader Ilyas Ali and enforced two rounds of countrywide shutdown.
During hartal hours on 29 April, pro-hartal activists damaged a passenger bus near the PMO and later set it ablaze.
Most leaders and activists of the party have been hiding since then to avoid arrest.
