The Supreme Court's Appellate Division will hear a state petition tomorrow seeking a stay on the High Court's order that declared "Joy Bangla" as Bangladesh's national slogan.

A three-member bench led by Justice Md Ashfaqul Islam fixed the date after the case appeared on the cause list today. 

Additional Attorney General Aneek Rushd Haque raised the matter for consideration.

The state on December 2 filed the plea with the relevant wing of the Appellate Division.

The High Court on March 10, 2020, passed the order, declaring 'Joy Bangla' as the national slogan of the country.

A High Court division bench comprising Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader passed the order, declaring absolute a rule issued earlier in this regard.
