Thursday was fixed for passing the order, but the High Court division bench comprising Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam reset the date over disputes in insurance of the vehicles.

The High Court after holding hearing on a writ filed in this regard, issued a rule asking the authorities of Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) and Swajan Paribahan to pay Taka one crore to the family of Rajib.
