Dhaka Labour Court Judge Begum Sheikh Marina Sultana framed the complaint and ordered to begin trial. Dr Yunus appealed to the High Court on 21 June to cancel the order of the Labour Court.
On 23 July, the High Court issued a ruling asking why the complaint against Dr Muhammad Yunus should not be cancelled in the case of violation of labour law.
Yunus's lawyer, Barrister Abdullah Al Mamun, told The Business Standard they will appeal challenging the verdict given by the High Court.
