The Supreme Court on Monday ordered a ban on the plying of electronic three wheelers, known as easy bikes, on the country’s highways to prevent road accidents.
A three-member bench of the Appellate Division led by Justice Hasan Foez Siddique passed the order after hearing a petition that was presented by Barrister Tania Ameer and Advocate Maniruzzaman Asad.
The ruling upheld a December 15 order of the High Court to impose a similar ban on the risky accident-prone vehicles in response to a petition filed by Bagh Eco Motors President Kazi Jashimul Islam.
