Staff Reporter:
The Chamber Court of the Appellate Division of Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the Election Commis-sion (EC) to let the participation of ‘Ganatantri Party’ in the upcoming 12th parliamentary
elections.
Chamber Court Justice M. Enayetur Rahim passed the order yesterday morning.
On December 12, the EC canceled the nomination papers of all the candidates of the Ganatantri Party.
According to a letter signed by EC Deputy Secretary Mahbub Alam Shah, the president and general sec-retary of the political party, registered with the Election Commission, submitted names of the committee separately, which was the reason behind the rejection.
As the nominations were canceled, the candidates appealed to the High Court against that decision. The High Court passed an order in favor of the candidates.
The EC, however, made an appeal against the order and its judgment was delivered yesterday.
