The High Court has ordered the Election Commission to resolve within three days a plea to bar 25 Jamaat-e-Islami leaders from contesting in the election.
Justice Md Ashfaqul Islam and Justice Mohammad Ali issued the rule following a writ petition hearing on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com.
The petition challenges the legality of allowing Jamaat leaders to become candidates since the party is no longer registered with the Election Commission.
The writ petitioners have moved the Election Commission with their plea after being advised to do so by the High Court bench in the primary hearing.
