They are needed for Grounded Theory from what new theory will be created. As here main theory is GT, other theories for the necessity of Chapters, are not the main theories.
Literature Review and Theories and Concepts are required separately.
Considering above issues, a sample of Theoretical Framework is expected.
I am confused by your question. Grounded theory is a research methodology to build up a theory or conceptualization from data unable to cope with available theoretical approaches. It is not a theory and normally it treats "literature" as data not as in a normal literature review. The method can only be used for research questions or problematic lacking any previous theoretical analysis and interpretation. It does not seem the subject of "military intervention in Bangladesh in 2007" which is likely a very straightforward subject of international relations, political sciences, or similar fields. Building new theories or interpretations has nothing to do with grounded theory that we reserve for much more "micro" and singular "fields" of research. The last Ph.D. thesis that I have supervised using grounded theory was on the impacts of PISA in teachers' vocabulary for learning a foreign language in Macao, and involved more than 300 interviews, field observation, and the treatment of OCDE PISA countless reports as data.
I agree with Ivo Carneiro de Sousa.
M Mukhlesur Rahman Chowdhury said: "main theory is GT". However, GT is not a theory - perhaps a metatheoretical tool, but mostly a qualitative methodological approach to handle certain types of data in order to create inductive models or theories. To put it very briefly: GT offers certain techniques to create categories and order them into themes.
M Mukhlesur Rahman Chowdhury, you probably may need more knowledge concerning relevant content analysis approaches or literature reviews. In both cases, independent information seeking is an essential part of your job. You had better to contact the library of your university to find guidelines for databases and making literature reviews.
Good luck,
