HC stays candidature of 3 BNP candidates

Staff Correspondent: The High Court (HC) on Wednesday cancelled the candidature of three more BNP candidates as they did not resign from the upazila chairmen posts ahead of the 11th parliamentary elections slated for December 30.

The candidates are Manjur Elahi of Narsingdi-3, Abdul Aziz of Natore-4 and Faruk Kabir Ahmed of Gaibandha-4.

The HC bench of Justice JBM Hassan and Justice Md Khairul Alam came up with the order after hearing of separate writs filed by their opposition candidates.

Advocate Shah Manjurul Haque and Manjill Morshed stood for the writ petitioner while Deputy Attorney General Motahar Hossain Saju represented the state in the courtroom.

Earlier, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court stayed the candidature of several BNP candidates aspiring to contest the elections.
