Modhumoti Model Town project illegal: SC

Staff Correspondent: The Appellate Division has upheld its earlier verdict that declared Modhumoti Model Town housing project illegal.

The court also directed authorities concerned to restore the wetland of Savar where Modhumoti Model Town has developed its housing project.

A bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain dismissed five review petitions against its earlier verdict on Wednesday.

On July 11, 2013, the Appellate Division of the apex court released the full text of its 159-page verdict directing Modhumoti Model Town owner Metro Makers and Developer Limited to restore within six months the wetland in Bilamalia and Bailarpur moujas of Savar where it has developed the project.

In September 2013, Metro Makers and Developer Limited and plot purchasers moved five separate petitions with the Supreme Court seeking review of its judgment.
