Bangladesh’s Appellate Division has granted permission to appeal the verdict that abolished the caretaker government system, scheduling the hearing for October 21.
Following the hearing, BNP lawyer Zainul Abedin told reporters: “The scrapping of the caretaker system destroyed the entire justice system and undermined people’s rights. We are hopeful the court will deliver justice on October 21.”
Earlier, during review hearings, the Chief Justice had stressed the need for a long-term and effective solution to prevent repeated political deadlock over the caretaker issue.
