A video of the lynching went viral on social media
The order must be implemented within 60 days, said Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Razik-Al-Jalil on Thursday.
The ruling was issued in response to a writ petition filed by a Supreme Court lawyer Sayedul Haque Sumon.
In the petition, barrister Sumon said he found an electricity pole located in the middle of Narsingdi’s Shibpur road while he was travelling to Sylhet. He then went live from his Facebook profile to show the danger posed by the pole.
The lawyer then started receiving images of electricity poles posing deadly threats to travellers in various parts of the country. The images sent by Facebook users across Bangladesh were attached to the writ petition.
