The High Court has rejected the writ petition challenging the validity of the government's decision to ban the movement of motorbikes on the Padma Bridge.
The High Court bench consisting of Justice Md Khasruzzaman and Justice Md Iqbal Kabir gave this order on Sunday. Advocate Yarul Islam was in favour of the writ in the court.
Earlier, a writ petition has been filed in the High Court challenging the validity of the government's decision to ban the movement of motorbikes on the Padma Bridge.
At the same time, the writ sought directions for the movement of motorcycles on the Padma Bridge.
Chairman of an organization called Bangladesh Republican Party Abu Hanif Hridoy filed this writ in public interest.
Secretary of the Road Transport and Bridges Ministry, Bangladesh Bridge Authority and the related parties have been made respondents in the writ petition.
Padma Bridge, the country's largest bridge, was inaugurated on June 25 last year and it was opened for traffic the next day.
However, a number of bike accidents and casualties were reported on the first day.
On June 27, the government banned the movement of motorcycles on the Padma Bridge through an official notice until further orders.
