HC upholds order to ban PUBG, Free Fire
The High Court today upheld its earlier order that asked the government to ban all kinds of destructive online games and apps like PUBG and Free Fire in order to save children and adolescents from moral and social degradation.
The bench of Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Justice Khizir Hayat rejected an application filed by Proxima Beta Pte Limited, a Singaporean PUBG manufacturing company, for vacating its previous order.
Following a writ petition, the HC on August 16 last year directed the government to put a stop to all kinds of destructive online games and apps like PUBG and Free Fire.
It also issued a rule asking the authorities concerned of the government to explain why their inaction to ban online games and apps like TikTok, Likee, Bigo Live, PUBG, and Free Fire should not be declared illegal.
Lawyer Sameer Sattar appeared for Proxima Beta Pte Limited, while lawyer and writ petitioner Mohammad Humayun Kabir Pallob opposed the application for vacating the HC order during hearing of the matter today.
