The Supreme Court today upheld a High Court order that asked the government to stop the operations of Maizea Advance Agro Refinery (MAAR) Limited, a dry starch powder producing company, for polluting environment at Shahpur area in Habiganj's Madhabpur upazila.
A six-member bench of the Appellate Division of the SC headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain dismissed a leave to appeal petition filed by MAAR Limited challenging the HC directive.
Following a writ petition filed by Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (Bela), the HC on March 15 this year ordered the government to immediately stop the functions of MAAR Limited.
