After partial hearing of the petition on May 6 a division bench of the HC fixed yesterday for the next hearing. While Abdus Salam Mandal is the filing advocate of the petition, Syed Golam Mostafa moved in the court on May 6 as counsel of the petitioner. But yesterday a lawyer on behalf of Mostofa prayed to adjourn hearing of the matter for yesterday and today saying that counsel of the petitioner is ill. As the court granted the prayer, the petition is likely to be heard on Sunday.
