Writ filed with HC seeking probe into Yunus-led interim govt’s 18-month activities

A writ petition has been filed with the High Court seeking
an investigation into the 18-month activities of the interim government led by
former chief adviser Muhammad Yunus.
After a preliminary hearing today
(17 May), the High Court bench of Justice Ahmed Sohel and Justice Fatema Anwar
fixed Thursday (21 May) for its order.
Senior lawyer MK Rahman and
petitioner-lawyer Mohsin Rashid appeared for the writ petitioners, while
Attorney General Md Ruhul Quddus Kajol represented the state.
Speaking to reporters after the hearing, MK Rahman said the writ sought an
investigation into the interim government's 18-month activities.
He alleged that the government had
created instability across different sectors, including the economy and
healthcare.
"A commission should be formed
under the Commission of Inquiry Act to prevent any elected government from
being removed in an unconstitutional manner in the future," he added.
MK Rahman said the court heard the
matter and fixed Thursday for its order.
Mohsin Rashid told reporters that the petition sought a comprehensive and
neutral investigation into all incidents that took place during the period.
"The government would determine how the investigation would be
conducted," he said.
He also said the attorney general
informed the court that he would seek instructions from the government on the
matter.
The petitioners also wanted the
government's position to be presented before the court at the next hearing, he
added.
