The BERC said in the second phase it would be revised to Tk 40. The gas price hike drew flak from consumer rights activists, business entities and political parties. On Feb 28, the High Court froze the decision to raise gas prices for second time after a petition filed by the Consumers Association of Bangladesh or CAB. The CAB had cited the BERC law in its petition after gas prices were increased for the second time this year in February. On Monday, the chief justice-led appeal bench also ordered the High Court rule to be resolved by Jul 31.
