Register Bangladesh Congress as political party: HC

Staff Correspondent: The High Court (HC) has asked the Election Commission (EC) to register Bangladesh Congress as a political party.

The court also announced the rule issued in this regard as valid.

The bench of Justice Md Moinul Islam Chowdhury and Justice Md Ashraful Kamal came up with the order on Wednesday.

Writ petitioner lawyer Kazi Rezaul Hossain, Yearul Islam and Md Abdul Awal moved for the writ in the court.

On July 24, The EC ruled out registration application for Bangladesh Congress through severing a letter.

Later, lawyer Kazi Rezaul Hossain, chairman of Bangladesh Congress, moved to the HC challenging the legality of EC’s letter.

After hearing on the writ, HC issued a rule asking the EC as to why the decision of rejecting Bangladesh Congress’ registration should not be declared illegal.

After final hearing on the rule, HC handed down the order to register Bangladesh Congress as a political party, Kazi Rezaul Hossain said.
