HC wants list of unfit vehicles, expired license holders
DHAKA, June 24, 2019 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today directed
Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) to submit lists of vehicles and
drivers, whose fitness certificates and driving license haven’t been renewed
respectively after those were expired.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder
and Justice KM Hafizul Alam passed the order as BRTA director (road safety)
Sheikh Mohammad Mahbub-e-Rabbani appeared before it and gave explanation in
this regard.
Supreme Court lawyer advocate Syed Mamun Mahbub drew court’s attention
towards a report of an English daily about the free movement of unfit
vehicles. The court on March 27 issued a rule in this regard and had asked
BRTA director to appear before it today and gave explanation.
Following that order the BRTA director appeared before it and also two
reports, one from BRTA and another from police, were submitted.
The court today also asked BRTA to let court know in a month the steps
they have taken so far against unfit vehicles and date-expired license
holders.
