Staff Reporter :
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Monday cleared way for demolition of the century-old laboratory building located in Farmgate’s Khamarbari area of Dhaka.
The court stayed a High Court order that imposed curb on demolition and removal of the old building at Khamarbari.
A five-member bench of the Appellate Division, headed by the Acting Chief Justice Md Abdul Wahhab Miah passed the order after disposing a leave-to-appeal filed by the government against the High Court order.
The apex court also asked the High Court to
clear and dispose of the rule issued by it over the legality of demolition quickly.
Deputy Attorney General S M Moniruzzaman told, now there is no legal bar to demolish and remove the old building at Khamarbari following the order.
He said, the government will construct a new structure there.
