The High Court has ordered the authorities of Green Line Paribahan to pay Tk 50 lakh by April 10 to Russell Sarkar, who lost his leg after being hit by a bus of the company on Mayor Mohammad Hanif Flyover in the capital.

The HC bench of Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader issued the order on Thursday.
