The High Court will deliver today its order on a writ petition seeking necessary steps to ensure the availability of due share of Ganges water at Farakka point as per the Ganges Water Sharing Treaty between Bangladesh and India. An HC bench of Justice Nazmun Ara Sultana and Justice Rezaul Haque concluded the hearing yesterday and fixed the date for its order on the petition. Advocate Tajul Islam, counsel for the petitioners, yesterday submitted that Bangladesh has not been getting actual share of Ganges water as per the treaty. "As per the provisions of the Ganges Water Sharing Treaty 1996, it (treaty) could be reviewed in the light of the realities after every five years. Even Bangladesh has the scope to unilaterally place the proposal to India to review the agreement in order to get the actual share of Ganges water. But the government of Bangladesh did not place any such proposal in the last 12 years," he added. Tajul Islam also said India has been unilaterally withdrawing Ganges water through Farakka Barrage, violating the provisions of the treaty. Due to severe shortage of water, some areas of Bangladesh, including the Sundarbans, are gradually becoming desert, he added. Deputy Attorney General Idris Khan opposed the writ petition arguing that the Ganges Water Sharing Treaty is an international agreement and it cannot be challenged in the court. Two Supreme Court lawyers MK Muraduzzaman and Faruk Hossain filed the petition as public interest litigation (PIL) on June 8.
