Two judges leave court amid chaos

Two judges of a dual bench of the High Court leave court amid chaos between pro-Awami League lawyers and pro-BNP lawyers.

The incident took place after the grant of a writ petition seeking BRTC's action to remove addresses and statements of BNP acting vice chairman Tarique Rahman, who is absconding in the eye of the law, from social media platforms including Facebook and YouTube.

Earlier, the High Court bench comprised of Justice Md Khasruzzaman and Justice Md Khairul Alam granted the writ petition.

Afterwards, pro-BNP lawyers in the court opposed the move.

Drawing attention of the court, pro-BNP lawyers said a petition was submitted to the chief justice to transfer the writ to another court. Under the circumstances, it is not fair to issue an order. Keep the writ petition filed and wait, the lawyers added.

On behalf of the writ petitioner, the deputy attorney general said, "What is this? What is happening?"

Afterwards, pro-BNP lawyers started raising objections over the granting of the writ petition.

Then the court said, "When you finish, we will say something."

At the time a pro-BNP lawyer said, "It is like a game show." The court said, "Let us speak." Then a BNP lawyer said, "No, my lord."
