Mollah's lawyers had demanded that the death sentence decision be reviewed, saying the Bangladeshi government was preparing to execute Mollah without completing all legal actions.
Although Mollah's death sentence was expected to take place at midnight last Tuesday, the supreme court judiciary postponed it to 10am Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the court delayed the decision until Thursday morning after approving lawyers' request for additional time.
The International War Crimes Court in Bangladesh was established in 2010 to judge those who had cooperated and sided with Pakistan during the 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh. Mollah was imprisoned for life on February 5, 2013 for six different crimes, including the ordering of 344 unarmed civilians' death.
Mollah rejects the claims. The supreme court approved the judgement of the International War Crimes Court and changed the life imprisonment decision to the death sentence on September 17.
