The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court will hold a hearing on Tuesday on a state petition, pleading to stay the High Court order that declared ‘Joy Bangla’ as the national slogan of Bangladesh.
A three-member apex court bench, headed by justice Md Ashfaqul Islam, set the date as the case came on the cause list on Monday and additional attorney general Aneek Rushd Haque mentioned the matter for hearing.
The state on December 2 filed the plea with the relevant wing of the Appellate Division.
The High Court on March 10, 2020, passed the order, declaring ‘Joy Bangla’ as the national slogan of the country.
A High Court division bench, comprising justices FRM Nazmul Ahasan and KM Kamrul Kader, passed the order, declaring absolute a rule issued earlier in this regard.
