A Supreme Court full bench will hear on April 11 the government’s petition to continue its investigation into a case against noted photographer Shahidul Alam.

Appellate Division’s Chamber Judge Justice Hasan Foez Siddique on Monday sent the petition to the bench for the purpose of hearing on that day.

The petition seeks a stay on a High Court order that has kept the stay on the investigation into the case filed under Section 57 of ICT Act.

Justice Siddique, however, did not stay the investigation, which means the stay will remain in force until issuing a notice otherwise.

Attorney general Mahbubey Alam represented the state, while Advocate AF Hasan Ariff, Alam during the hearing.

Earlier on March 14, the High Court stayed the investigation into the case for three months, prompting the government move against it.
