The High Court on Wednesday dismissed the writ challenging the legality of the election schedule and voter list for the upcoming BCB elections slated for June 7.

An HC bench of Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty and Justice Md Ashif Hasan issued this order.

Now, there is no legal bar to hold the election, said lawyers.

Adv Mohammod Hossain Lipu and Adv Azim Uddin Patwary were present in the court for the writ petitioners, while Attorney General Md Ruhul Quddus Kazal and Additional Attorney General Aneek R Haque represented the state and National Sports Council and Barrister Mahin M Rahman argued for BCB during hearing on the petition.

The writ has been filed by six councillors who questioned the validity of the election schedule and the voter list.
