The Supreme Court has deferred till Tuesday the passing of its order on two appeal petitions filed seeking a stay on a High Court order directing BRTC to provide Tk50 lakh as compensation to the family of deceased Titumir College student Rajib Hasan.
A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain fixed the new dater after a hearing on Monday.
Earlier,on May 17, the Supreme Court fixed Monday (today) after holding a hearing on the petitions filed by Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) and Sajan Paribahan.
Rajib lost his right arm after getting stuck between two buses at Bangla Motor on April 3. He died at Dhaka Medical College Hospital on April 17.
A High Court bench on May 8 ordered the BRTC and the owner of Sajan Paribahan to give Rajib’s family Tk1 crore in damages.
They were directed to pay half of the amount within this month and submit a report to the court on June 25, stating whether the compensation was paid or not.
BRTC only sought a stay on the compensation, which it was directed to pay by the High Court, said its lawyer Muniruzzaman.
