Verdict today on Nizam Hazari's JS membership
Staff Correspondent
The High Court will give its verdict today on a writ petition that challenged the legality of holding the office of a lawmaker by ruling Awami League leader Nizam Uddin Hazari.
The bench of Justice Md Abu Zafor Siddique on Tuesday fixed the date after concluding hearing on the petition. Earlier, five HC judges refused to hear the same petition after a two-judge bench on December 6, 2016, delivered a split verdict, said petitioner's lawyer Advocate Satya Ronjon Mondal.
Shakhawat Hossain Bhuiyan, a Jubo League leader of Feni, filed the petition as public interest litigation with the HC on June 8, 2014, praying to the court to declare Nizam disqualified for contesting the parliamentary polls and holding the office as a lawmaker because of his alleged forgery in getting an early release from jail in a criminal case in December 2005.
