Abstract
The focus of the chapter will be on disaster management laws in Bangladesh and will shed light on judicial developments. Apart from critically examining disaster management laws, the chapter will analyze the relevant milestone litigations filed before the Supreme Court of Bangladesh in the last 50 years. The chapter will make some conclusive comments on the statutes and domestic judicial remedies in Bangladesh. Through this examination we aim to portray the lengths to which the law has been applied and to gauge how beneficial the domestic legal remedies have been to the current scenario.
