Plea to review SC verdict cancelling caretaker govt

Staff Reporter:

A petition was filed yesterday with the apex court, pleading to review an Appellate Division judgment that scrapped the 13th amendment to the constitution which allowed the formation of a neutral caretaker government for holding national polls.
Five eminent citizens including rights organization Shushashoner Jonno Nagorik (Shujan) secretary Ba-diul Alam Majumdar filed the plea. The other petitioners are- Tofayel Ahmed, M Hafiz Uddin Khan, Jobairul Haque Bhuiyan and Jahura Rahman.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on May 10, 2011, declared illegal the 13th Amendment to the Constitution that introduced the caretaker government system.
The seven-member apex court full bench headed by Chief Justice A B M Khairul Haque, delivered the judgment by a majority view upon a petition against a previous High Court verdict that rejected an ap-peal challenging the 13th Amendment to the constitution.
But the judgment had said the tenth and eleventh parliamentary elections could be held under the care-taker government to evade any chaotic situation.
The Jatiya Sangsad in 1996 amended the constitution abolishing the caretaker government system.
The system prescribes installation of a non-party and non- elected caretaker government to power to oversee general elections at the end of the tenure of an elected government.
