The HC bench of Justice Md Ruhul Quddus and Justice Ashish Ranjan Das issued the rule on Jul 23. The court has asked the bench of Justice SM Kuddus Zaman and Justice Fahmida Quader to settle the rule by the next two weeks. Following a petition by Yunus, the High Court on Dec 12, 2021, suspended the proceedings against Yunus, the honorary chairman of Grameen Telecom, for six months. Later, on Jun 13, the Appellate Division put a two-month freeze on the proceedings and ordered the High Court to settle its rule. On Aug 17, Justice SM Kuddus Zaman and Justice Fahmida Quader quashed a High Court rule asking why the case against Yunus would not be dismissed, paving the way for trial proceedings.
