DHAKA, May 8 -- The High Court on Wednesday stayed the leasing process to set up cattle market at Aftabnagar in the capital and issued a rule asking the government to explain as to why the makeshift cattle market in the area should not be declared illegal.

The HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Kazi Zinat Hoque issued the rule after hearing the writ petition filed challenging the leasing notice of setting up a makeshift cattle market in the area.

With the HC order, no cattle market will be set up at Aftabnagar ahead of Eid-ul-Azha this year, said the petitioners' lawyers.
