A Dhaka court issued an ad-interim injunction on Monday upon operation of the new committee of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), a co-organisation of BNP.
At the same time, the court asked the newly-elected JCD president and secretary to explain in seven days as to why the new committee should not be declared illegal.
Senior Assistant Judge-4 of Dhaka, Nusrat Sahara Bithi, passed the order after hearing a petition, filed by Md Aman Ullah Aman, former assistant religious affairs secretary of JCD.
Advocate Masud Ahmed Talukder, a pro-BNP lawyer, confirmed the news.
On September 12, the same court issued an ad-interim injunction on holding the council of JCD, following a petition filed by the same person.
