The Chamber Court of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on Sunday issued an order, clearing the way for the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) polls scheduled for Monday.
“The election should take place,” Judge of the Appellate Division Farah Mahbub said while issuing the order extending the Chamber Court’s earlier order that stayed a High Court directive, which halted the effectiveness of BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul's letter, sent on September 18.
In the letter, Aminul asked district and divisional sports associations to nominate councillors from ad-hoc committees for the upcoming election.
BCC lawyer Mahin M Rahman told reporters that due to the chamber court’s order issued Sunday there is no obstacle to the BCB election slated for tomorrow.
Additional Attorney Generals Mohammad Arshadur Rouf and Aneek R Haque stood for the state.
Barrister Ruhul Quddus Kajol and Barrister Kayser Kamal took part in the hearing on behalf of the petitioner.
