HC to pass order tomorrow

The High Court has decided to pass an order tomorrow on an appeal filed by Robi Axiata seeking an injunction on a move of Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to realise Tk 867.23 crore from the telecom operator.     

The HC bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Khijir Hayat fixed the date after a hearing on the appeal yesterday.

On July 31 last year, the BTRC issued a notice asking Robi Axiata to pay Tk 867.23cr as dues.

Later on, Robi filed the appeal with a lower court in Dhaka seeking an injunction on realisation of the money by the telecom regulator but the court turned down the petition.

Robi in October this year moved the appeal to the High Court.

Advocate Prabir Neogi and Barrister Gazi Ershadul Alam appeared for Robi while Barrister Khandaker Reza-e-Raquib moved for BTRC.
