HC extends its stay on fines to shohoz.com
Train ticket disorder
FE REPORT | Wednesday, 14 September 2022
The High Court (HC) on Tuesday extended for two months its earlier order that stayed the fine of Tk 0.2 million imposed by the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) on ticketing platform shohoz.com considering a charge of negligence in the process of selling tickets brought by a Dhaka University student.
The HC bench of Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Justice Md Riaz Uddin Khan passed the order after hearing a petition filed by shohoz.com.
Considering an allegation filed by Mohiuddin Rony, a fourth-year student of the Theatre and Performance Studies Department of the Dhaka University, the DNCRP on July 20 this year fined ticketing platform shohoz.com Tk 0.2 million for its negligence in the process of selling train tickets.
Later on July 25, shohoz.com filed a writ petition with the HC challenging the legality of the decision passed by the DNCRP fining Tk 0.2 million to shohoz.com.
