A division bench comprising Justice Shah Abu Nayeem Mominur Rahman and Justice Zubayer Rahman Chowdhury rejected the petition, as it was not pressed by the counsel for the petitioner.

On May 6, Josne Ara Chowdhury, wife of Harris Chowdhury, political secretary to former prime minister Khaleda Zia, filed the writ challenging the validity of the current caretaker government.

Before rejecting the petition, the court inquired about details of the petitioner whether she was a Bangladeshi citizen, voter and taxpayer, but the counsel, Syed Golam Mostafa, failed to satisfy the court.
