A High Court division bench comprising Justice F.R.M. Nazmul Ahasan and Justice K. M. Kamrul Kader passed the order after holding hearing on a writ petition filed in this regard.

The court also issued a rule asking officials concerned including Secretary to Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretary, Finance Secretary, Bangladesh Bank Governor to reply as to why it shall not pass order to form a strong commission to determine the extent of irregularity and corruption taken place in previous years.

“The court has ordered to prepare list of loan defaulters and money launders through forming of a commission,” state counsel ABM Abdullah Al Mahmud told newsmen.
