The Supreme Court of Bangladesh has suspended a previous High Court order that had directed authorities to refrain from disconnecting water, electricity, and gas connections in under-construction buildings within areas controlled by the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK). The chamber court of the Appellate Division issued the suspension order on February 3, 2026, following a petition filed by RAJUK challenging the earlier High Court directive.
The High Court had earlier, on December 17, 2025, issued a rule and an interim injunction in response to a writ petition filed by the Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh (REHAB), instructing RAJUK and related authorities not to disconnect utility connections in such buildings. The government had initially decided on April 17, 2025, that utility connections would be cut off for buildings under construction that violated approved designs in RAJUK-controlled areas.
With the Supreme Court’s latest order, there is no longer any legal barrier preventing RAJUK and relevant authorities from conducting mobile court operations and disconnecting water, gas, and electricity connections in buildings under construction that deviate from approved designs.
