The High Court has directed that all activities under the contract related to the Neomuring Container Terminal at Chittagong Port remain suspended until the pending case is resolved. The order was given verbally on Thursday (November 20) by a High Court bench led by Justice Fatema Nazib.
During the hearing, the government assured the court that all activities under the contract would remain halted until the verdict is delivered.
Earlier, on July 30, the High Court issued a rule in response to a writ challenging the validity of the contract between Chittagong Port Authority and a foreign company regarding the management of the Neomuring Container Terminal.
The writ was filed by Mirza Walid Hossain, President of the Bangladesh Young Economists Forum, questioning the legality of handing over the terminal to the foreign company.
