The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has concluded hearings on the appeal concerning BNP leader Aslam Chowdhury’s candidacy for the Chattogram-4 constituency. The four-member bench, headed by the Chief Justice, has scheduled June 30 for delivering its verdict on whether Chowdhury can take oath as a Member of Parliament.
The dispute originated from allegations of loan default against Aslam Chowdhury. On January 18, the Election Commission declared his nomination valid, but a bank challenged that decision in the High Court, which later dismissed the petition. The bank and Jamaat-e-Islami candidate Md. Anwar Siddiqui subsequently appealed to the Appellate Division. On February 3, the court allowed the appeal, permitting Chowdhury to contest the election but ordered that the results remain withheld until the appeal’s resolution. Despite this, Chowdhury was unofficially declared the winner in the February 12 election.
Senior lawyers from both sides, along with two court-appointed amicus curiae, participated in the final hearing. The Election Commission is expected to await the June 30 verdict before announcing the official result.
