The High Court shut down the Bangladesh Brick Manufacturers and Owners Association when they tried to join a public interest case about illegal kilns. Justice Mohammad Mujibur Rahman Mia and Justice Mohammad Hamidur Rahman made the call after lawyers from both sides argued their positions. The brick people wanted in because their licenses ran out and evictions started happening, but senior advocate Manzill Murshid said they already blew their appeals and were just trying to block enforcement.
Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh originally filed the case, and when illegal operators started gearing up for another season in Chattogram, they added more complaints. The judges basically said the association represents legit licensed operations while this whole thing is about the sketchy unlicensed ones, so there was no reason to let them crash the party. Authorities got ordered to follow through on evictions and report back by a specific deadline.
