The authorities of Green Line Paribahan have only paid Tk 500,000 of the Tk 5 million in compensations fixed by the High Court. The court subsequently ordered Green Line to pay the outstanding Tk 4.5 million in nine instalments of Tk 500,000 each within the 15th day of every month. On Green Line’s failure to compensate Russell, its lawyer Advocate Md Ozi Ullah withdrew himself as its legal representative on July 16.

The court ordered Green Line to pay for the expenses of the treatment of his other damaged leg.
