Ad-interim injunction issued on new JCD exec committee
A Dhaka court yesterday issued an ad-interim injunction on the functions of the newly-elected executive committee of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), the pro-BNP student body, for the next seven days.
Judge Nusrat Sahara Bithi of the 4th assistant judge’s court of Dhaka passed the order after Md Aman Ullah Aman, a former assistant religious affairs secretary of JCD, filed an application seeking a temporary injunction on the functions of the newly-elected executive committee.
It also asked the JCD committee to explain in seven days why a permanent injunction in this regard should not be imposed.
On Sunday, BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and nine others appeared before the court and sought time for submitting written objections to the notice issued by this court earlier. The court granted them time.
The JCD committee was elected at its council on September 19, where Fazlur Rahman Khokon was elected president and Iqbal Hossain Shyamol general secretary.
BNP Standing Committee Member Mirza Abbas declared the new committee on behalf of party’s acting chief Tarique Rahman, now in London.
Earlier on September 12, Aman filed a case saying that he had purchased a nomination form for contesting the post of JCD president but the council commission cancelled his nomination paper without any reasonable grounds.
Advocate Masud Talukder, a pro-BNP lawyer, told The Daily Star that the court should have issued a notice to the newly-elected JCD committee before issuing the injunction order.
