A writ petition was filed on Sunday, seeking the High Court's direction to give birth registration certificates to the street children.
Barrister Tapos Kanti Baul filed the petition for an organisation named Sports for Hope and Independent.
The secretary of the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs and the authorities of the Office of the Registrar General, Birth and Death Registration were made respondents to the writ.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Justice Khizir Hayat is likely to hear the petition.
"According to the newspaper reports, more than two lakh street children in the country have no birth registration certificates. They cannot get enrolled into any school for this certificate. So we filed the writ for providing them with the birth registration certificate," Barrister Tapos said.
