High Court Division · Special Original Jurisdiction
Tofayel Ahmaed (Azad) v Bangladesh and others
Writ Petition 7516/2025 · Rule disposed of with direction · Decided 13 August 2026
The petitioner applied to the High Court Division under article 102 of the Constitution challenging the inaction of the respondents in disposing of his representation dated 28.04.2025. The representation was addressed to respondent No. 1 and sought to avail the exit facility under Bangladesh Bank's BRPD Circular Letter No. 05 dated 10.03.2025. The petitioner contended that, although the representation had been received by the office of respondent No. 1, it had not been disposed of in any manner. A Rule Nisi was issued on 27.05.2025 asking why that inaction should not be declared to have been done without lawful authority. Having considered the facts and the contents of the representation (Annexure F-1), the Court took the view that justice would best be served by directing respondent No. 1 to dispose of the representation within sixty days. The Rule was accordingly disposed of, and respondent No. 1 was directed to dispose of the representation.
- Whether respondent No. 1 should be directed to dispose of the petitioner's pending representation seeking an exit facility under BRPD Circular Letter No. 05 dated 10.03.2025.
- The petitioner's complaint was that his representation seeking the exit facility under BRPD Circular Letter No. 05 dated 10.03.2025, though received by the office of respondent No. 1, had not been disposed of in any manner.
- Justice would best be served by directing respondent No. 1 to dispose of the representation within sixty days.
- The Rule Nisi was disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 1 to dispose of the representation accordingly.
Considering the facts as well as the averments of Annexure-F-1, we are of the view that justice would be best now if the respondent No. 1 is directed to dispose of the representation dated 28.04.2025
