Writ filed in HC questioning legality of interim government's actions
It raises questions over the legal validity of various steps taken under the interim administration, including policy decisions, legislative measures, reform commissions, as well as both national and international agreements.
A Supreme Court lawyer has submitted a writ petition to the High Court challenging the legality of actions taken by the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus.
The petition, submitted by Advocate Mohammad Mohsen Rashid today (4 May), seeks a court directive requiring the government to form a commission to examine whether any corruption allegations exist against Yunus, reports the Daily Star.
It further raises questions over the legal validity of various steps taken under the interim administration, including policy decisions, legislative measures, reform commissions, as well as both national and international agreements, the lawyer told The Daily Star.

The cabinet secretary, law secretary, along with other concerned officials, have been made respondents in the case.
Advocate Rashid said he intends to bring the matter before a High Court bench later this afternoon.
Previously, the same lawyer had also submitted a writ petition contesting the legality of how the current government was sworn in and constituted. That petition was rejected by a High Court bench.
An appeal was later filed against the dismissal, and the Supreme Court subsequently upheld the legality of the interim government.
