A writ petition was filed with the High Court on Monday, pleading to ban Bangladesh Awami League and cancel its registration as a political party for mass killing.
Arifur Rahman Bhuiyan, executive director of rights group Sarda Society, filed the writ, pleading to rename all the institutions across the country named after ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, state news agency BSS reported.
The petitioner also pleaded for allowing the incumbent interim government minimum three years time to carry out the reform, transfer of all the contractual appointments made during the past Awami League government, among others.
The petition is likely to be heard at High Court division bench of Justice A K M Asaduzzaman and Justice Muhammad Mahbub Ul Islam.
