Declaration and direction–– Appellate Division would like to politely point out that the High Court Division, while passing an unnecessary lengthy judgment, has discussed many extraneous matters having no nexus in deciding the merit of the rule. It has also declared a document executed by the Government to be void ab initio without even examining whether by this document the Government has sold any part within the boundary/ territory of the river. Moreover, it has also exceeded its jurisdiction relating to some directions as discussed. ––The Government must be very cautious about deciding the matter and the Government shall not under any circumstances lease or sale any land within the boundary of river Turag including foreshore areas, or for that matter, any other river of Bangladesh to protect the biodiversity, ecological balance and environment of Bangladesh. ––The Government/concerned authorities must bear in mind that at the time of survey, it shall always start the survery from C.S map and then go to R.S map and not the other way round. ––The rule is disposed of with the observations and directions made in the body of the judgment. .....Nishat Jute Mills Limited =VS= Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh, (Civil), 2023(1) [14 LM (AD) 210] ....View Full Judgment
