The High Court has directed the authorities concerned to maintain status quo for two weeks on a government order to remove tinted glasses from vehicles.
An HC bench comprising of Justices Mirza Hussain Haider and Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar issued the order on Wednesday afternoon responding to a petition.
On May 14, a Supreme Court lawyer Asaduzzaman filed the petition challenging the legality of the government order.
Earlier on April 30, in light of the recent abduction spree, the Ministry of Home Affairs banned the use of black or tinted glasses on microbuses.
The order read: “Tinted, black or coloured glasses would not be allowed on the windshields and side windows or rear windows of any microbus from May 10.”
