DHAKA : The High Court on Sunday directed the authorities concerned to free footpaths of the roads from Zero Point to Sadarghat in 48 hours to mitigate sufferings of Dhaka Judge Court lawyers, justice-seekers and judges from gridlock.
An HC bench comprising Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Justice Jahangir Hossain issued the order on a writ petition filed by a human rights and environment organization in public interest.
The HC asked the authorities to take actions so that no pile of sand, iron rod or any other material, rickshaw vans, pushcarts, fruit shops and vendors can occupy the footpaths or roads from Zero Point to Sadarghat.
In this regard, the court issued a rule on the home secretary, inspector general of police (IGP), joint commission (traffic), deputy commission (south), Dhaka metropolitan commissioner (DMP), city corporation administration (south), Dhaka deputy commissioner and officers-in-charge (OCs) of Bangsal, Kotwali, Sutrapur and Ramna police stations. The rule is returnable in two weeks.
Advocate Asaduzzaman Siddiqui and Ekhlas Uddin Bhuiyan filed the writ on behalf of Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh.
Advocate Monzil Morshed appeared in the court on behalf of the petitioners while Deputy Attorney General Barrister ABM Altaf Hossain represented the government.
