Bangladesh Supreme Court has stayed a High Court verdict that declared Joy Bangla — popularised by Bangbandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman — as the country’s national slogan.

Following the change of government, the state moved to suspend the High Court’s ruling and on December 2 filed the leave to appeal petition with the SC seeking stay on the High Court verdict of March 10, 2020.

A four-member bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed on Tuesday passed the order on the ground that the national slogan is a matter of the government’s policy decision and the judiciary cannot interfere in this issue.
