The route permit of Suprobhat Paribahan was cancelled by BRTA following death of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) student Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury after being hit by one of its buses at Pragati Sarani on March 19.
Following the order, Suprobhat Paribahan's Managing Director Md Ashraf Ali sent a letter to the BRTA on April 1, according to a UNB report.
Later, a legal notice was served to BRTA on April 8 as it did not reply.
Being failed to get BRTA permission, Ashraf Ali filed the writ with the High Court on Monday seeking an order on BRTA to dispose of its application.
