Justice Hasan Foez Sidduque dropped the case from Wednesday’s cause list and issued a “no order” on it, said Mostafizur Rahman Khan, the lawyer for Matiur. “It means that the High Court’s stay order has been upheld,” Khan said. The High Court panel of Justice Md Rezaul Haque and Justice Md Ataur Rahman Khan on Dec 13 issued the stay order along with a rule asking why the case against Matiur should not be scrapped. Abrar was electrocuted during an event organised by Prothom Alo’s youth magazine Kishor Alo on the school campus in November 2019. Charges were later framed against nine people on Nov 12 this year but the court acquitted Kishor Alo Editor Anisul Hoque.
