DHAKA, Oct 13, 2021 (BSS) - Ministry of Commerce today proposed names of

three former secretaries of the government before the High Court to be
selected as a member of an interim board to govern e-commerce platform Evaly.

     The three former government officials are - former land secretary
Maksudur Rahman Patwari, former LGRD secretary Md Rezaul Ahsan and former
chairman of Land Reform Board Yakub Ali Patwari.

     "The High Court may pass an order next week after reviewing the proposed
names," said Advocate Syed Mahsib Hossain, who filed and moved a writ in this
regard.

     A High Court division bench of Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar
observed on October 12 that it is considering forming a four-member interim
board to govern the e-commerce platform.

     The court came up with the observations as Registrar of Joint Stock
Companies and Firm (RJSC) submitted all the documents of Evaly before the
court.

     "As both the owners of the company are in jail, so the High Court is
considering forming a four-member board with one retired judge, a former
secretary, a chartered accountant and a lawyer," said Barrister Tapos Kanti
Baul, who stood for commerce ministry, Directorate of National Consumer
Rights Protection and Bangladesh Competition Commission, before the court.
