The environment of Dhaka City was endangered due to unplanned, unauthorised and illegal creation of townships and filling up lands by some developer companies. BLAST and other organisations filed a Writ Petition challenging the permission granted for the illegal housing project of Ashiyan City, which was beyond lawful authority and against the public interest. A Review Petition was filed, No. 19 of 2015.
The High Court issued a Rule Nisi to show cause as why the land area of the project does not fall within any land marked as wetland and flood flow zone marked under the DAP/DMDP. The project is being done in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The rule is not maintainable on the point of maintainability, and therefore the rule is discharged.
