SC stays HC order for 2 weeks
The Supreme Court (SC) yesterday stayed for two weeks a High Court (HC) order that recently stayed a government order empowering the upazila officials instead of union parishad (UP) chairmen to implement a project for creating jobs for the poor people.
Upon a government petition, chamber judge of the Appellate Division of the SC Justice Md Muzammel Hossain also asked the government to file a regular leave to appeal petition with the SC against the HC order within this two week's period.
Following the apex court order, the upazila officials now can implement the project.
The food ministry on February 16 this year issued a notification giving charges to the upazila tax officials in place of the UP chairmen to implement the project for creating employments for the poor people.
Following a writ petition filed by Bangladesh Union Parishad Forum, the HC on February 28 stayed for two weeks the notification, and also issued a rule upon the government to explain why the notification should not be declared illegal.
Additional Attorney General Murad Reza appeared for the government.
