The High Court (HC) has fixed August 22 for the hearing of a writ, filed seeking ban on Awami League (AL) and cancellation of its registration as a political party for indiscriminate killing of students and commoners, during the quota reform protest and mass uprising.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice A K M Asaduzzaman and Justice Muhammad Mahbub Ul Islam fixed the date on Tuesday following a short hearing.
Earlier on Monday, the writ petition was filed with the High Court by Arifur Rahman Bhuiyan, executive director of rights group “Sarda Society”.
In this writ, he also pleaded to rename all the institutions across the country named after ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
The petitioner made another plea for allowing the incumbent interim government minimum three-year time to carry out the reform, transfer of all the contractual appointments made during the past Awami League government, among others.
