The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) today stayed a High Court order that had directed the authorities not to show anyone arrested, arrest, or harass in the absence of a specific case against them. A four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury passed the order, directing to dispose of the rule issued by the High Court in this connection, within four weeks.
The High Court earlier in its order, directed not to show anyone arrested, arrest or harass in any way without any specific case against him. It also issued a rule in this regard.
Attorney General Md Ruhul Quddus Kazol argued for the state during today's proceedings, while Barrister Sara Hossain and Advocate Motahar Hossain Sazu stood for the opposing party.
This development comes as a significant shift in the legal procedures regarding arrests in Bangladesh. The High Court's previous directive aimed to prevent arbitrary arrests and harassment without concrete evidence. The Supreme Court's decision to stay this order indicates a reevaluation of these procedures.
The Supreme Court's order has now set a timeline for the High Court to reconsider and dispose of the rule it had issued. This move is expected to have implications for law enforcement practices and the rights of individuals in the country.
