SC asks lawyers to strictly follow HC directives
Special Correspondent, Dhaka: The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday again asked lawyers to strictly follow the 2005 High Court directives that prohibited them from holding assemblies and bringing out processions on the court premises.
A three-member bench of the Appellate Division, headed by Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan, passed the order while hearing a contempt of court petition against seven pro-BNP lawyers.
The apex court fixed November 15 for further hearing and passing order on the petition.
On August 30, the apex court passed the same order.
Advocate Md Nazmul Huda, a SC lawyer, filed petition on August 29 against the pro-BNP lawyers for making “slanderous, derogatory and contemptuous” comments about two apex court judges at a press conference held on the Supreme Court Bar Association premises on August 27.
