Bangladesh HC summarily rejected Sunday a writ petition seeking a ban on ex-PM Sheikh Hasina's Awami League and cancellation of its registration for its alleged involvement in killings during the
student-led mass upsurge
, reports AKM Moinuddin. A bench of Justices AKM Asaduzzaman and Md Mahbubul Islam said the interim govt was "sincere" about prosecuting the people who ordered that protesters be shot at during the movement.
It said individuals, not the party, committed this crime.
At the hearing, attorney general Md Asaduzzaman urged the court to reject the petition, saying the current administration had no intention of banning any political organisation.
