HC restricts knocking down of 5 structures
The High Court yesterday issued restriction on demolishment of two schools, two hotels and a guesthouse in Dhaka's Gulshan and Banani for different periods.
The five structures are Aurara International School at Gulshan-2 and Scholastica Limited on Gulshan North Avenue, Coffee World in Banani, Hotel Amari in Gulshan-2 and Holiday Planet (the guesthouse) in Gulshan-2, Deputy Attorney General Mokhlesur Rahman told The Daily Star.
In response to five writ petitions by the authorities concerned, the HC, however, ordered the authorities concerned of the structures to shift those from the areas on their own.
The authorities have been ordered to take proper security measures there until they are relocated, DAG Mokhlesur said.
He also said Aurara International School and Scholastica school have to be relocated by December 31 and the hotels and guesthouse in three months.
The HC also issued five separate rules asking the authorities concerned of Rajuk and the government to explain in four weeks why the demolishment of the structures without any notice and without giving them sufficient time should not be declared illegal.
They recently submitted the petitions seeking directives from the HC on the government and Rajuk not to evict them without issuing notices and giving them sufficient time.
