The High Court (HC) on Sunday issued a contempt of court rule against four people including director general (DG) of Department of Environment (DoE) as they failed to submit a report on actions taken against people grabbing and polluting Bongshi River.
A High Court division bench comprising Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order, asking the four to explain as to why the court shall not draw a contempt of court proceeding against them for failing to execute a court order.
The other three accused are the Dhaka deputy commissioner, the Savar assistant land commissioner and the officer in-charge of Savar police station.
