Friday, 11 July 2008
The High Court (HC) Thursday summarily rejected a writ petition challenging the validity of the Election Commission's (EC) schedule for holding election to four city corporations and nine municipalities before publication of the final voter list, reports UNB.
A division bench comprising Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain and Justice Farid Ahmed passed the orders, after hearing submission by advocate ABM Nurul Islam, the counsel for petitioner Giasuddin Ahmed, a lawyer.
The grounds for rejecting the writ were not known immediately.
The elections were scheduled to be held on August 4.
