The Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday deferred the hearing on a petition by BGMEA to review an SC verdict ordering to demolish the multi-storey office building of the organisation.
The three-member bench led by chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha deferred the hearing as attorney general Mahbubey Alam pleaded for more time.
The 16-storey office building of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) is constructed in the middle of the Hatirjheel-Begunbari canal despite concerns from the green activists.
The SC in its full verdict on 8 November last year ordered BGMEA to demolish its building at its own cost.
The Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) was also given directives to demolish the building, if the BGMEA does not to do so within 90 days after getting a copy of the verdict.
On 8 December last year, BGMEA president filed a petition for a review of the top court's verdict.Benefit cuts for the poor inhuman, tightening immigration suicidal
