The High Court has dismissed a writ petition seeking an investigation into the 18-month activities of the interim government led by Dr. Muhammad Yunus. The bench of Justice Ahmed Sohel and Justice Fatema Anwar delivered the order on Thursday, May 21, following a hearing. Lawyer M.K. Rahman represented the petitioner, while Attorney General Md. Ruhul Kuddus Kajol appeared for the state.

According to the petitioners, the interim government created disorder across various sectors, including the economy and health, during its tenure. They argued that a commission of inquiry under the Commission of Inquiry Act was necessary to prevent future unelected takeovers. The court heard the arguments and later dismissed the petition.

The Yunus-led interim government took office three days after the fall of the Awami League government during the 2024 movement and stepped down on February 17, when the BNP formed a new government following its election victory on February 12.
