Writ to bring back 195 Pak prisoners of war rejected
The High Court (HC) yesterday summarily rejected a writ petition that challenged a 1974 tripartite agreement among India, Pakistan and Bangladesh through which 195 Pakistani prisoners of war (POW) were released.
Supreme Court (SC) lawyer Parvez Ahmed yesterday filed the writ petition seeking its direction on the government to bring back the alive prisoners of war from Pakistan to Bangladesh for putting them on trial.
A HC bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Syeda Afsar Jahan summarily rejected the petition, saying that the petitioner has no substantial interest in this matter.
Petitioner's lawyer Barrister Fakhrul Islam told The Daily Star that they would move and appeal to the SC against the HC order.
