HC rejects automatic enforcement of foreign warrants

Published : Wednesday, 11 November, 2026 at 5:37 PM

Observer Online Report

The High Court has observed that arrest warrants issued by foreign courts cannot be automatically enforced in Bangladesh or compel local authorities to arrest or extradite anyone.

The court made the observation while dismissing a writ petition seeking enforcement of an arrest warrant issued by a Dubai court in the UAE.

A bench of Justice Md Toufique Enam and Justice Mahmud Hasan passed the order on Monday (November 9).

The court said any arrest or extradition must follow Bangladesh's existing laws and prescribed legal procedures.

It also observed that the UAE government had made no formal extradition request through official channels and that a private company could not compel Bangladeshi authorities to enforce a foreign warrant.

The court dismissed the petition, saying the petitioner had failed to establish a legal basis for seeking directions against the authorities.
