HC freezes BTCL's bidding
The High Court issued a status quo on the bidding for the job of building BTCL's fibre optical cable line.
The bidding will be on hold until June 6, said Advocate Abdul Matin Khasru, a lawyer for the respondent.
On June 6, the court will hand down a verdict after a final hearing, he said.
Earlier on May 10, the same court issued a stay order against the judgement by a review panel on public procurement, when BTCL filed a writ petition challenging the judgement.
The review panel's judgement was delivered on March 6, following a complaint by Nortel Networks Netas Telekomunikasyon against state-run telecom company BTCL that dropped the participant from the bidding.
Istanbul-based Netas later took the matter to court.
Netas took part in the prequalification assessment process of the bidding, but the BTCL disqualified the firm, saying it did not submit appropriate documents.
