Bangla Press Desk: The High Court on Monday temporarily blocked the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president’s letter directing district and divisional sports associations to nominate councillors exclusively from ad-hoc committees for the upcoming board election.
The court issued a 15-day stay on the letter and set a 10-day deadline for government and BCB authorities to explain why the directive should not be declared illegal.
The order came from a bench comprising Justice Md Mozibur Rahman Miah and Justice Bishwajit Debnath, following a writ petition challenging the legality of the letter issued on 18 September.
Four petitioners from Tangail, Lakshmipur, Gopalganj, and Rajbari had filed the case, seeking a stay on the letter, which required regional associations that had nominated councillors from outside the ad-hoc committees to resubmit their nominations.
