HC orders to register Trinomul BNP as political party
DHAKA, Nov 4, 2018 (BSS) – The High Court (HC) today ordered the Election
Commission (EC) to register Trinomul BNP led by Barrister Nazmul Huda as a
political party.
A High Court division bench of Justice Tariq ul Hakim and Justice Md.
Shohrowardi passed the order, declaring a rule issued earlier in this regard
“absolute”.
Earlier on August 14, the High Court issued the rule, asking Chief
Election Commissioner (CEC), Election Commission secretary and assistant
secretary to reply as to why the court shall not declare EC’s decision not to
register the party as illegal.
Barrister Nazmul Huda took part in the hearing for Trinomul BNP, while
Deputy Attorney General Amatul Karim stood for the state.
The court also took opinions of three amici curiae advocate AF Hasan
Arief, advocate MK Rahman and Dr Shahdin Malik in this regard.
