The High Court on Thursday stayed the decision of cutting down the century-old trees on both sides of Jessore-Benapole road for six months.
The Court also issued a rule asking the government to explain why the decision of cutting down the trees should not be declared illegal.
A high court bench of Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury and Justice Md Iqbal Kabir passed the order, responding to a writ petition filed by Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh.
