Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Muhammad Nurul Amin’s petition to the Appellate Division to block BNP candidate Sarwar Alamgir, who won the Chattogram-2 seat in the 13th national parliamentary election, from taking his seat in parliament has failed.
Attorney General Ruhul Quddus Kazal said on Wednesday that the Supreme Court removed the appeal from this agenda, meaning that there is no obstacle to Sarwar performing his duties as a member of parliament.
Nurul Amin, who contested in the same constituency, filed the petition with the Appellate Division on Jul 12 seeking a stay on the High Court verdict declaring Sarwar Alamgir's candidacy valid.
A four-member appeal bench headed by Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury ordered the appeal to be removed from the agenda.
The other three members of the bench are Justice Md Rezaul Haque, Justice SM Emdadul Hoque and Justice Farah Mahbub.
