The Appellate Division will decide on Wednesday whether to stay a High Court verdict that declared the candidacy of BNP nominee Sarwar Alamgir valid for the 13th parliamentary election from the Chattogram-2 constituency.

On Tuesday, a four-member Appellate Division bench led by Chief Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury set the date for the order.

The other members of the bench are Justice Md Rezaul Haque, Justice SM Emdadul Hoque, and Justice Farah Mahbub.

Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Muhammad Nurul Amin, who is contesting in the same constituency, filed the petition with the Appellate Division on Jul 12 seeking a stay on the High Court verdict.

The following day, on Jul 13, the plea was placed before the chamber court of the Appellate Division.
