DHAKA, Feb 16, 2025 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today issued a rule asking 
authorities concerned to explain why it shall not pass an order to add the 
unused talk time, internet data and SMSs in the next package being bought by 
the customer.
 
A High Court division bench of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder 
Mahmudur Razi passed the order after holding a hearing on a writ petition 
filed in this regard.
 
The court asked officials concerned including the posts and 
telecommunications Secretary and the Chairman of Bangladesh Telecom 
Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to reply within the next four weeks, said 
Advocate Md Mizanur Rahman Kayes, who moved the plea before the court.
 
The lawyer in his plea said no telecom companies are following the BTRC rule 
of adding the unused talk time, internet data and SMSs in the next package 
and doing whatever they want.
 
"I had sent legal notices for taking immediate actions in this regard on 
January 13 to Posts and Telecommunications Secretary, BTRC Chairman and 
authorities of Grameenphone, Robi Axiata, Banglalink and Teletalk. As they 
did not take any action, I filed the writ with the High Court (HC)," the 
petitioner said.
