The Supreme Court today upheld a High Court order that directed authorities concerned to remove illegal stairs at different points of Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover in Dhaka.

A three-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha dismissed an appeal filed by Orion Infrastructure Limited challenging the High Court order.

Earlier, the apex court had frozen the removal of stairs, as ordered by the High Court, on June 9.

Earlier on May 31, the HC in a suomoto (of its own) move directed to take necessary steps to remove all the illegal stairs from Mayor Mohammad Hanif flyover.

It also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned to explain in four weeks why they should not be directed to remove the stairs from the flyover.
