Writ filed against 16th amendment
Thursday, 16 October 2014
A writ petition was filed with the High Court Wednesday challenging the legality of the much-talked-about 16th constitution amendment paving the way for establishing Parliament's power to remove the Supreme Court judges. A Supreme Court lawyer, Eunus Ali Akond, filed the writ petition with the concerned section of the High Court Wednesday morning, praying to consider the 16th constitution amendment as illegal and unconstitutional. The court will hear the petition Sunday (October 19), the petitioner said. — UNB
