Dhaka, May 2 (UNB) - Responding to a public interest litigation writ petition,
the High Court on Wednesday issued a twin-rule upon the leaders of major political parties and government to explain in three weeks why enforcing hartal during public examinations should not be declared illegal.

The Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, the Awami League general secretary, the BNP secretary general, Education, Home and Parliament secretaries have been made respondents to the rule.
Issuing the twin-rule, the HC division bench comprising Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury and Justice Jahangir Hossain also appointed some noted lawyers as amici curiae (friends of court) to assist the court during the hearing.
