The High Court (HC) today issued a rule, asking
authorities concerned to explain as to why two provisions, one, giving quick
rental power plants immunity from legal bindings and another regarding buying
or investment decisions, shall not be declared illegal.
A High Court division bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice AKM Rabiul
Hassan issued the rule, after holding primary hearing on a writ filed by Dr
Shahdeen Malik and Tayeb-Ul-Islam Showrov.
Secretary of the legislative drafting wing of the law ministry, finance
division secretary, secretary of power, energy and mineral resources ministry
and chairmen of Power Development Board and Petrobangla have been asked to
reply the rule.
Two Supreme Court lawyers filed the writ, challenging the legality of
sections 9 and 6(2) of Power and Energy Quick Supply (Special Power) Act-
2010.
