DHAKA, May 19, 2025 (BSS) - The High Court (HC) today set May 26 for passing 
its order on a writ petition filed challenging the legality of several 
recommendations made the Women's Affairs Reform Commission in its report.

A High Court division bench of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder 
Mahmudur Razi set the date after holding hearing on the plea. Petitioner 
Advocate Rowshan Ali moved the plea before the court while Additional 
Attorney General Barrister Aneek Rushd Haque argued for the state.

Supreme Court lawyer Rowshan Ali filed the writ on May 4, saying a couple of 
recommendations made by the commission are contrary to the constitution, 
values of the country's religious people and Sharia.

The three relevant ministries and the chief of the Women's Affairs Reform 
Commission were made respondents in the writ.
