The court dismissed the writ petition filed by the Dhaka-14 lawmaker of the Awami League, citing the contradictions surrounding his claim. When the BIWTA declined to respond to his proposal for a joint survey, Aslamul moved the High Court. The Arisha authorities responded to the notice after three days, proposing a joint survey on the disputed land. This writ petition had been filed at another High Court bench and the petitioner hid the information from this bench,” said lawyer Murshid. “I hope the BIWTA will start the demolition drive to free the rivers as soon as possible,” he added.
