FBCCI lawyer Barrister Imtiaz Mainul Islam told that there is no legal bar for holding election to FBCCI directors’ posts on April 27
following the SC order.
He said the Appellate Board of the FBCCI had scrapped the candidature of Bazlur Rahman, a former director of FBCCI for being a loan defaulter.
Then, Bazlur Rahman filed a writ petition with the HC challenging the decision of FBCCI Appellate Board.
Following the writ petition, the HC on April 18 stayed the process for holding election to the posts of FBCCI directors.
The FBCCI recently filed the petition with the SC seeking stay on the HC order, the lawyer said.
