Observer online report

The High Court has dismissed as not pressed a writ petition challenging the legality of the government notification banning all activities of the Awami League and its affiliated, associated and like-minded organisations.

The court did not examine the merits of the petition or rule on the legality of the notification, as the petitioner did not press the writ.

The bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Aziz Ahmed Bhuiyan passed the order on Sunday.

Md Al Amin, a resident of Munshiganj, filed the petition on September 7, with lawyer Yunus Ali appearing for him.

The petition sought a rule asking the authorities to explain why the notification issued on May 12, 2025 should not be declared to have been issued without lawful authority.

The petitioner also sought a stay on the operation of the notification until disposal of the rule.

The Public Security Division of the Home Ministry issued the notification on May 12 last year, banning all activities of the ousted Awami League and its affiliated, associated and like-minded organisations until the completion of trials of their leaders and activists before the International Crimes Tribunal.

The notification covers activities including publications, media and online campaigns, social media activities, processions, meetings, rallies and conferences.
