Order on phone tapping Sept 29

The High Court (HC) on Sunday rejected a writ petition against tree felling at historical Suhrawardy Udyan for installation of commercial establishments, reports UNB.

The virtual bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and SM Maniruzzaman turned down the petition.

Lawyer Syeda Rizwana Hasan presented the petitioners while Additional Attorney General Sheikh Mohammad Morshed stood for state.

"This is one of the mega projects of the government and no establishment will be built there on commercial basis. The government is implementing the HC directive issued in 2009," said Additional Attorney General Sheikh Mohammad Morshed.
