The High Court of Bangladesh has placed on its cause list a writ petition seeking suspension of all activities related to the upcoming 13th National Parliamentary Election. The hearing may take place on Monday, December 8, before a bench led by Justice Shikdar Mahmudur Razi. The petition, filed on December 3, challenges the legality of appointing election officials from the executive branch and requests the formation of an independent Electoral Service Commission. The writ was filed by Advocate Iarul Islam, Secretary General of the Bangladesh Congress, naming the Chief Election Commissioner and other officials as respondents. It argues that appointing deputy commissioners and upazila executive officers as returning and assistant returning officers violates constitutional provisions that assign election management solely to the Election Commission. The petitioner claims that executive officials, as representatives of the government, compromise neutrality and public trust. If the court issues a rule in favor of the petition, it could temporarily halt election preparations and prompt a review of the Election Commission’s administrative structure, potentially delaying the national polls.
