HC issues injunction on realizing due from GP
DHAKA, Oct 17, 2019 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today issued an
injunction for two months on realizing around Taka 12,580 crore due from
Grameenphone (GP) by Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
(BTRC).
A High Court division bench comprising Justice AKM Abdul Hakim and
Justice Fatema Najib passed the interim order, allowing an appeal filed by
the mobile phone operator against a lower court order.
The court also set November 5 to hold hearing on this appeal.
Advocate AM Aminuddin and Sharif Bhuiyan appeared for GP while Barrister
Khandaker Reza-E-Raquib stood for BTRC.
BTRC on April 2 demanded around Taka 12,580 crore from GP as due in
different items. The telecom operator later filed a case with the lower
court, seeking a temporary injunction on realizing the money. But the court
on August 28 scrapped the plea of GP, making it to file an appeal with the
High Court.
The High Court today came up with the order while holding hearing on the
admittance of that appeal.
