HC rejects writ

After hearing the petition filed by advocate Afifa Begum, an enrolled lawyer of the High Court, a division bench of the High Court comprising Justice M A Matin and Justice M Rezaul Haque passed the order.

The petitioner submitted in the petition that as per the calendar of the Supreme Court, the Appellate Division and the High Court Division remain closed for long 179 days in 2005.

"The lawyers and clients of the cases in the Supreme Court suffer a lot due to the long vacation and other holidays," the petitioner submitted.

Senior lawyer of the Supreme Court advocate ABM Nurul Islam moved the petition.
