The High Court bench led by Justice Fahmida Kader issued the rule on Monday (14 July).

The court also asked why a directive should not be given to prepare an accurate and reliable list of martyrs from the movement and publish it in the form of a gazette.

In addition, the court questioned why Chief Adviser of the interim government, Dr. Yunus, should not be declared the national reformer of the new Bangladesh.

Advocate Mohammad Ali Jinnah represented the petitioners in court, while Assistant Attorney General Ikramul Kabir appeared for the state.
