\nJustice Obaidul Hassan, chamber judge of the SC’s Appellate Division, also issued status quo on functions of general secretary of the association, saying that none can hold the post of general secretary till further order.
\nThe judge set the full court hearing of the election matter after holding a brief hearing of an appeal filed by Nipun challenging the High Court\u2019s order.
\nThe HC had also asked the election appeal board, headed by film director Sohanur Rahman Sohan, to explain within seven days the legality of its decision disqualifying Zayed\u2019s candidature on the ground of misconduct during the casting of the vote on January 28.
\nNipun filed the appeal on Tuesday after the High Court stayed the Election Appeal Board\u2019s decision on February 5 declaring Nipun as the general secretary of the organisation unopposed.
\nAn online bench of Justice Mamnoon Rahman and Justice Khandaker Diliruzzaman granted the stay after hearing a writ petition filed by Zayed on Sunday.
\nLawyer Rokanuddin Mahmud and Mustafizur Rahman Khan appeared for Nipun while Zayed was presented by lawyers Yusuf Hussain Humayun and Ahsanul Karim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
