HC directs to display Bangabandhu’s portrait at all courts

The High Court has directed the authorities concerned to preserve and display the portrait of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at all courtrooms across the country in next two months.

The court bench of Justice F R M Nazmul Ahasan and Justice K M Kamrul Kader gave the order on Thursday after hearing a writ petition.

Secretaries to the ministries of law, housing and public works and finance and the Supreme Court registrar general and the High Court registrar have been made respondents to the rule.

Earlier on August 21, Supreme Court lawyer Subir Nandi Das filed the petition.

In the petition, he mentioned that according to article 4(A) of the Bangladesh constitution, it is mandatory to set up Bangabandhu’s portrait in every government, semi-government and autonomous offices.
