The letter was sent to the High Court bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman, and to the Registrar General of the Supreme Court on Sunday in accordance with the High Court Rules. In the letter the lawyers, led by Mohammad Shishir Manir, prayed to the High Court to issue a show cause notice asking the ACC to explain as to why it has sacked the official.
The court may hold hearing on the letter considering it as a writ petition on Tuesday, he added.
