UNB, Dhaka :
The Supreme Court will pass its order on Tuesday on a leave-to-appeal petition filed by Krishak Sramik Janata League president Kader Siddique against the High Court verdict rejecting his plea for participating in the Tangail-4 by-election.
A five-member Appellate Division bench, headed by Chief Justice SK Sinha, fixed the date on Monday on completion of the hearing. On February 25, Krishak Sramik Janata League president Kader Siddique filed the leave-to-appeal petition with the Supreme Court.
After the resignation of Awami League MP of Tangail-4 Abdul Latif Siddique on September 1, 2015, the Election Commission fixed
November 10 for holding the by-polls. Scrutinising the nomination papers of the aspirants, the returning officer on October 13 cancelled the nomination paper of Kader Siddique on the loan default charges.
The Krishak Shramik Janata League leader appealed with the Commission against the decision, but the commission rejected his plea on October 18. Later, he filed a writ petition with the High Court against the Commission’s decision.
