The High Court (HC) has rejected a writ petition pleading for the court's direction against law enforcement agencies using live rounds against protesters. "This application is summarily rejected with observation," said the order passed by the High Court Division Bench of Justice Mustafa Zaman Islam and Justice S M Masud Hossain Dolon today. "The court in its observation said citizens have the right to participate in peaceful procession, assembly, and public meetings as per law and our constitution. Police, however, can take steps in line with CrPC and Police Regulations, Bengal (PRB) if violence, disorder, and chaos are created from any meeting or processions," Attorney General AM Amin Uddin said quoting the court observations. Barrister Sara Hossain, Advocate ZI Khan Panna, Barrister Anik R Haque, and petitioner Advocate Manzur Al Matin argued for the plea before the court while Attorney General AM Amin Uddin, Additional Attorney Generals SM Munir, Sheikh Md Morshed and Mehedi Hasan Chowdhury took part in the hearing for the state.
