SC okays Jatiya Press Club body to run
Upholding its chamber judge's stay of a High Court injunction, a Supreme Court Appellate Division bench yesterday allowed running of Jatiya Press Club's existing committee led by President Muhammad Shafiqur Rahman and General Secretary Quamrul Islam Chowdhury.
The four-member bench headed by Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha also asked the lower court concerned to complete within the next three months trial of a case filed for declaring this committee illegal.
On August 6 last year the High Court issued an injunction, stopping the committee's activities for the next six months, following a writ petition filed by Syed Abdal Ahmed, who claims to be the general secretary.
