The High Court has rejected the writ petition that was filed challenging the legality of Section 70 of the Constitution that allows cancellation of parliament membership for crossing the floor.
The single bench of Justice Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman passed the order on Sunday, saying that fundamental law of the Constitution cannot be cancelled.
Petitioner Advocate Eunus Ali Akanda said he will again file a writ petition challenging the legality of section 70 of the Constitution showing another ground.
Earlier on January 15, the HC delivered split verdicts over the matter.
Later, the single bench of Justice Abu Taher Md Saifur Rahman was assigned to dispose of the writ.
