The High Court here on Thursday refused to pass a suo motu order on banning ISKCON’s activities in Bangladesh after it was informed that the government authorities have taken necessary measures, The Daily Star said.
Supreme Court lawyer Md Monir Uddin placed some newspaper reports about International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) before the HC bench on Wednesday and had prayed for a suo motu (voluntary) order to the government to ban the organisation and impose Section 144 in Chattogram, Rangpur and Dinajpur.
The court had asked the attorney general to inform the steps taken by the government regarding ISKCON’s recent activities.
When the proceedings started on Thursday, the attorney general’s office placed the information before the HC bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Debasish Roy Chowdhury.
