HC clears way for BCB polls

The High Court has dismissed a writ petition challenging the schedule and voter list for the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) directors' election, clearing the way for the polls to proceed.

A bench of Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty and Justice Md Asif Hasan passed the order on Wednesday.

According to BCB's lawyer, there is now no legal obstacle to holding the Jun 7 election.

The petitioners were represented by senior lawyer Md Hossain Lipu, alongside Azim Uddin Patwary and Md Shafiqul Islam.

Attorney General Md Ruhul Quddus appeared for the state, while Mahin M Rahman represented the National Sports Council (NSC) and the BCB.

Rahman said the court held the final hearing on Wednesday after a partial hearing on Tuesday and subsequently threw out the petition.    �"bdnews24
