A six-member bench led by chief justice Mozammel
Hossain on Monday ordered the secretary to be present with the gazette on Dec
14.
Attorney general Mahbubey Alam represented the
state and Bangladesh Ship Breakers' Association was represented by Anisul
Haque.
The petitioners, Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers'
Association (BELA), were represented by Fida M Kamal and Iqbal Kabir.
Iqbal Kabir told reporters after the hearing,
"Despite the court's orders, the government is yet to create a set of
regulations or the management of the shipbreaking industry.
"The court has postponed the hearing and asked
the industries secretary to present himself after formulating regulations and
publishing a gazette," he said.
Earlier, the court allowed a limited amount of
ships to be imported on the plea of BSBA on May 5 and asked the government to
formulate regulations for the industry.
