The court also directed the deputy director of the social welfare department to ensure their welfare until further order.

The bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman came up with the order during a hearing on a petition filed by the Japanese mother, Nakano Eriko.

The High Court will review its decision on September 16, the Business Insider Bangladesh has learned.

Earlier on August 23, the HC bench asked the authorities concerned to shelter the siblings at the Tejgaon Victim Support Centre in a quality environment until August 31 amid a legal battle over their custody between the mother and the father.
