The High Court on Monday stayed for two months the election of executive committee of “Bangladesh Jewellers Samity”.
The election was scheduled to be held on November 8 next.
The High Court Bench of Justice Sheikh Hassan Arif and Justice Md Mahmud Hassan Talukder passed the order after hearing a writ petition filed by Bipul Ghos Shankar, one of the members of the organization and also a candidate in the election.
The court also issued a rule asking the respondents to explain in one week as to why the
decision and award dated October 30, 2019, passed by the Arbitration Tribunal of FBCCI rejecting a petition seeking exclusion of 114 controversial voters from the voter-list should not be declared illegal.
Commerce Secretary and 128 other respondents have to comply with the rule within a week.
Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, advocate Mehedi Hasan Chowdhury and advocate Md Imam Hasan took part in the hearing on behalf of the aggrieved party of the “Bangladesh Jewellers Samity” while Barrister Rokanuddin Mahmud and advocate AM Aminuddin stood for the opposition party.
Advocate Md Imam Hasan said, election commission published a primary voter-list of 666 voters on September 12, 2019. Then, a portion of the voters gave objections on September 18 to the election appeal board over the voter-list saying that the list included 114 illegal voters.
But the election commission on September 29 published the final voter-list without taking the objections into cognizance. Then the aggrieved party on October 5 filed a petition with the Arbitration Tribunal of FBCCI for remedy which fixed October 20 to pass an order over the matter.
Due to the Arbitration Tribunal’s delay in publishing the order, Bipul Ghos Shankar, one of the members of the organization, filed a writ petition with the High Court on October 27 challenging the inaction of the Arbitration Tribunal of FBCCI in passing order over the Bangladesh Jewellers Samity’s election.
Meanwhile, the Arbitration Tribunal of FBCCI on October 30 passed an order rejecting the petition of the aggrieved party of the Bangladesh Jewellers Samity.
Then the writ petitioner on November 3 filed a supplementary petition with the High Court challenging the order of the Arbitration Tribunal of FBCCI.
After hearing on the petition, the High Court on November 4 passed the order staying the election for two months.
