In Bangladesh, the High Court has ordered the authorities concerned to form a high-powered committee to review all the power contracts signed by the Awami League government with India’s Adani Group and submit a report within two months.
The HC passed the order on Tuesday after the hearing of a writ petition filed by Supreme Court lawyer M. Abdul Qaiyum who sought the cancellation or revaluation of the deal, claiming it to be unfair.
It also instructed the submission of all documents related to the power purchase deal between the Power Division and Adani Group within the next month, reports United News of Bangladesh (UNB).
The court issued a rule seeking explanation as to why the deal which is criticized as unfair and against the country’s interests should not be annulled.
The court ordered inclusion of internationally renowned energy and legal experts in the high-powered committee to review the deal in detail.D D NEWS
