The High Court on Thursday directed the concerned authorities to stop the production and marketing of Royal Tiger Energy Drink for three months.
The bench of Justice Mirza Hussain Haider and Justice Khurshid Alam Khan passed the order considering a writ petition filed by three lawyers, Deputy Attorney General Al-Amin Sarkar told the Dhaka Tribune.
