Staff Reporter :
A Dhaka University female student on Sunday filed a writ petition with the High Court (HC) seeking a stay on the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) election slated for March 11.
Fahmida Mazid, a Master student of the International Relations department of the university and Female Student Affairs Secretary of Central Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), submitted the writ petition saying that her name had not been shown in the voter list.
In the petition, she challenged the legality of the election schedule and voter list saying that there are “anomalies” in the voter list.
She prayed to the court to issue a rule asking the Dhaka University administration to explain as to why the election schedule for DUCSU polls excluding her name in the voter list should not be declared illegal.
At the same time, she prayed to the court to stay the election schedule pending hearing of the rule.
