Rit application for cancellation of death penalty in Bangladesh criminal law

//Daily World News//

A lawyer has applied for Rit challenging the death penalty in Bangladesh’s criminal law.

On Thursday, Advocate Ishrat Hasan filed a Rit application in the relevant branch of the High Court.

It has disputed the Secretary of Law and Justice Department of Law and Justice, Secretary of Legislative and Parliamentary Division and Registrar General of the Supreme Court.

He has already applied for unconstitutional declaration of the highest punishment, noting that 112 countries have banned the death penalty.

Lawyer Ishrat said the death penalty was banned in neighboring countries, Bhutan and Nepal, including many developed countries. Bangladesh is a signatory to the international document to ban the death penalty. As a result, it is the custom of international law to follow these documents.

“But when the application will be heard, he said, “”There are several days before the vacation.” So I can’t tell if I’ll hear it in January.”

The two-week holiday will begin from December 19 to the Supreme Court.
