Hearing will be held next Thursday on a writ petition filed in the High Court seeking to ban Bangladesh Awami League and suspend the party's registration – over its involvement with indiscriminate killing of students during the Boishommo Birodhi Chhatra Andolon.

The High Court bench of justices AKM Asaduzzaman and Muhammad Mahbub Ul Islam fixed this day for the hearing.

Petitioner Arifur Rahman Murad Bhuiyan himself participated in the hearing. Also, in the writ, directions have been sought to change the name of institutions which are in Sheikh Hasina's name.

The petition also sought a minimum three-year term for the current interim government to reform the country.

Along with this, the writ sought directions to bring back Tk 11 lakh crores that have been smuggled abroad, and transfer the officials who were appointed on contractual basis during the previous Awami League government.

Writ petitioner lawyer Arifur Rahman Murad Bhuiyan said the High Court’s rule and order has been sought in these matters.
