On Monday, the bench of justice Naima Haider and Abu Taher Mohammad Saifur Rahman rejected the writ saying it was 'not maintainable.'
On Nov 9 last year, Supreme Court lawyer Younus Ali Akand filed the petition with the High Court.
An article titled - ‘Mahbubey Alam crosses 67, controversy over role as attorney general - carried by a national daily had been attached to the plea submitted.
The next day, the matter came for a hearing at the bench of justices Quazi Reza-Ul Hoque and Mohammad Ullah, when one of the judges was embarrassed to hear it.
It was then forwarded to the chief justice, who assigned another HC bench to hear it.
