Staff Reporter :
Candidacy of BNP leaders Ruhul Kuddus Talukder Dulu and Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku are in limbo yet once again with a suspension order.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed the High Court’s approval on their candidacy for a day in response to appeals filed by the Election Commission.
Justice Hasan Foez Siddique, Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division, passed the order and forwarded the matter for a full bench hearing today (Wednesday).
It comes down to the apex court ruling if they can run in the general election on December 30, Attorney General Mahbubey Alam told the reporters.
On Monday, the High Court cleared the two BNP leaders, convicted in cases and sentenced to run for the elections from their respective Constituencies.
The Election Commission filed the appeals against the High Court orders yesterday.
