Bar council ready for Aug 26 polls

Staff Correspondent: Attorney General Mahbubey Alam has informed the Supreme Court (SC) that the voter list for the August 26 Bar Council election has been made ready.

 

The Attorney General informed the matter to an Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha on Wednesday morning. Later, the bench has dismissed a writ petition to stay the polls.


Earlier, the top court has deferred the polls for Bar Council, which was scheduled for Aug 13. Then, it set Aug 26 for holding the election for the lawyers’ regulatory body.


The SC also set Jul 30 for the deadline to publish the final electoral roll and Aug 3 for resolving any dispute over the voters’ list.


On May 28, the court told the council’s chairman (attorney general) and secretary to review the voters list and publish the updated list by Jul 12.
