The HC bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil came up with the order after hearing a ruling on a writ petition filed by a Supreme Court lawyer, Barrister Sayedul Haque Sumon. Lawyer Sagufta Tabassum Ahmed stood for the writ petitioner while lawyer Kazi Ersadul Haque did so for The Daily Star. Later, he filed the writ with the High Court. The court also asked the editor of the daily to explain the published news within 15 days. Barrister Sumon said Section 28 clearly prohibits media to publish articles, photographs, and information that goes against a child under trial.
