Dhaka: The High Court (HC) has affirmed that the current interim government is backed by legal documents and the will of the people. This was stated in the full text of the court’s order, which dismissed a petition challenging the process of the government’s formation.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the High Court described the writ petition as misleading, hateful, and harassing. The order was passed by a bench comprising Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder Mahmudur Razi, following a hearing of the petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer Mohammad Mohsin Rashid.

The court emphasized that this process is supported by legal documents and reflects the will of the people of Bangladesh. The order also referenced the mass uprising that occurred in July-August 2024, noting its significance in the country’s history and expressing hope for the continued welfare of the people.
