Bangladesh High Court: 180-day trial limit does not void cases under repression law

What happened

The High Court ruled that a case under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act is not dismissed just because trial is not finished within 180 days. The deadline is a directive to the tribunal, not mandatory.

Why it may matter

• This is time-bound — there is an application or deadline involved, so check the dates before they pass.
• Paused rather than ended, so the position may change again.
