The High Court (HC) has revoked the freedom fighter gallantry awards of four of the absconding killers of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
They are- Captain Nur Chowdhury, Major Shariful Haque Dalim, Rashed Chowdhury and Mosleh Uddin.
A virtual High Court bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam passed the order following an initial hearing on a writ petition on Tuesday.
The court also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned of the government to explain why their inaction in cancelling their freedom fighter titles should not be declared illegal.
